W520 freeze/shutdown when starting uTorrent.

The configuration is Vertex 3 in the main bay and Seagate 500GB in the ultrabay, using aftermarket caddy.

Only while I'm using uTorrent I get freezes and sometimes even sudden shutdown with the critical error "Kernel-Power".

Anyone knows something regarding this issue ?

Did you carry out the usual? :

memtest

prime95

BST

wireless and ethernet stress test

 

I download stuff using utorrent to a caddy drive.  No issue here (just saying).

I didn't. But i will.

However, I belive it's something with the HDD/SSD configuration cause only when i'm using this software i ran into this problems..

Re: W520 freeze/shutdown when starting uTorrent.

You're downloading to the HDD and not the SSD, I presume?

What happens if you remove the HDD? And try running it?
