Shutdown using U-Torrent??

I've merged your duplicate threads. Please do not double or cross post. Thank you.

Those are kernel panics. Possibly being cause by hardware or even software. Does it only happen when you're using U-Torrent?

I think it may have happened one or two times when not using u-torrent(i think when i tried to do just a regular software update it happened once), but whenever i open u-torrent it is guaranteed to happen, have only had the computer about two months and bought it brand new. should i take it in to see someone perhaps?? beginning to think it may be the only thing i can do. I am also running a paid version of norton internet security.

and I apologise about the double post. not the best with computers and am still unsure wether this is a software or hardware issue. Cheers.

If the kernel panics continue it may indicate a hardware problem. However, according to your description, it sound as if it could be caused by something that's happening when you use U-Torrent. Of course that could also be a hardware thing.

Since your machine is under warranty, you might consider making an appointment with your local Apple store and have them check it out. Tell them about the kernel panics so they can check your crash logs while trouble shooting.
