Are you using the GPLPV drivers? If you are then please give me as much
info as you can about the problem (version, text of BSoD message, etc).

If not, can you enable or disable bits of the firewall? Those suites
come with a heap of bits and pieces these days, but the most likely
culprit I suspect would be the use of or emulation of Execute
Protection, which goes a long way to stopping buffer overflow exploits.
