Downloading torrents freezes my pc

Whenever I download a torrent my pc freezes. This happens within 5 mins or even an hour or two. No blue screen, errors, etc. The pc just freezes and I have to reboot.

I have downloaded torrents for a long time now with no problems. I recently upgraded my PC. New Ram, cpu, and motherboard. Since then I have had these problems.

I have tried using several different torrent programs, but the freezing continues with all of them. So I am sure it's not the acutal program that is the problem.

Nothing else involving my network/internet connection causes freezing. Transfering files, playing games, downloading files, etc.

The only software difference I can think of between when my torrents were working and now is that I upgraded from Windows XP SP1 to SP2.

Here are my new components:

* Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 2.4GHz
* GIGABYTE GA-965P-DS3 Intel P965 Motherboard
* G.SKILL 2GB (2 x 1GB) DDR2 800

I also added a wireless network extender to my excisting wireless network. However, I doubt this could be causing the problem?

I am at wits end. Please someone give some advice!
Thanks!

Update drivers for your network card. Also, if your running service pack 2 then download the Lvl Lord patch and open the max no of connections to about 50.

What router are you using?
