Computer Crashes Only Using Limewire
 

My computer consistenly crashes after approx 15 - 20 mins if i am downloading a file/files.
I am using the most up to date version of Limewire and have been using the software for years.
The program works fine with my laptop through my adsl connection and doesnt crash at all.
Using Windows XP pro and regularly am updating the norton antivirus and zone alarm firewall. Also tried to use bitorrent and that also does the same with crashing.

I have also reformatted my hard drive and reinstalled software with the same result.

any help would be appreciated

I am experiencing the same result after 10-15min. Is this the result of spyware or a virus? I am running Windows XP Pro. The computer freezes and the only way forward is to restart.
