However, the V7.5 software is not 100% compatible with the new drivers on some platforms so you have to use the old drivers and just remember not to have multiple FTDI devices connected when performing actions that cause drivers to get activated/deactivated.

Can you please confirm the exact details that are present when it crashes.

On both laptop's I was running on laptop battery and the only thing plugged in was my V2 into a usb plug on the laptop. I had already been using EFI with V7.5 for a couple hours on the 1st laptop then desided to flash a E38 with V8 and soon as I opened V8 the laptop when to blue screen. It has yet to ever come back on.
The brand new laptop I did a fresh install off efilive.com and the laptop would instantly go to blue screen as soon as I plugged in V2. I then installed the older driver as a administrator and could open efi and my laptop recognized my v2. I used it like that for a day or two and then desided to try V8 again since I had another E38 car. Same thing again, V8 blue screened my brand new laptop. After 30 mins of trying to get it to re-boot it finally came back on. I have since re-installed everything and am using the older driver but I have not tried V8 in fear or bricking another laptop. I have a couple really old laptop I can try it on but they are all dell where all 3 of my new laptops are HP so not sure it will be a apples to apples test.
