Have you tried revdep-rebuild or a stable version of the package?


Of what package? I tried many torrent clients, couldn't be that they
all froze my system just because they're marker (~), also I've been
running al my gentoos on (~arch) but i don't recall, other than nvidia
driver, any progs to actualy freez my computer
  


Well, I don't know the inner structure of torrent clients, by I guess 
they all could be depending on some common library. If this is the case 
and the version of that hypothetical library is still unstable you could 
have there the origin of you problem (I don't think an unstable package 
could freeze you box, but still it's an idea).

Check dmesg for anything related to your network (the hw specifically, but 
software could be at fault, too), before the crash occurs.  (Even better 
if you sync-log it so you'll have it after the system crashes.)

Assuming it's not your memory it is most likely the network card.

You might want to check your memory with something other than memtest -- I 
know there have been some scripts posted to this list that claim to catch 
timing issues much better than memtest.
