A7000 Causing Blue Screen on Windows 10
So I'm sure we're all well aware of the A7000's brilliant disconnection/reconnection usb switching issues. I was able to get past this problem by disabling the usb switching tool that gets installed ...
Over for the last 5 months I’ve had a blue screen every 30-50 minutes with windows 10 and "unexpected kernel mode trap" error. Paid a IT technician $99 to look at my pc and they couldn’t find any issues. Two months later took it to another IT technician and paid $158 to be told that some external device was crashing over and over causing the blue screen. Then I googled A7000 and found this thread. Removed the device and the pc hasn’t crashed once for a week. I was really close to buying a new pc as I was about to lose my sanity not knowing what the issue was.
This device isn’t cheap and for people who are not IT savvy like me they might not what’s causing the issue. NETGEAR needs to fix this issue or stop selling it like others have pointed out. I’ve paid close to $400 for the technicians and the device only to throw it in the bin.
