BSODs from USB are not necessarily caused by third party drivers.
Back when I spent time making Linux-USB peripherals work with MS-Windows,
I certainly saw more than enough of them caused by the MS-Windows USB
stack misbehaving. Someone sent me a list of a couple dozen strange
failures with pure MSFT code (in their USB/RNDIS/NET stack) ... most of
them were things I had seen, and many of them caused BSODs. So that
experience wasn't mine alone.
The ones which caused real head scratching were on the order of seeing
network packets seem to vanish into thin air ... then reappear minutes
later, *ON THE WRONG CONNECTION OR NETWORK INTERFACE* to wreak havoc.
Sometimes culminating in BSOD.
This was with USB packets which conformed 100% to their documentation
(stick USB sniffer on the link, double check data against MSFT specs)
and processed by 100% MSFT code.
Just pointing out that WHQL may be irrelevant to the problems here.
