Stephen,
I'm not entirely sure if the BSOD (as we lovingly refer to it in the industry) is caused by the USB interface
One way to troubleshoot us using the stop error codes
Have you checked that?
It'll show up in the BSOD as stop 0x0xxxxx
Microsoft have explanations for each stop error and resolution
Paging or mem access violations are common causes
I haven't looked it up but the USB standard would allow for surge currents else there'll be millions of devices affected
I use a 5m USB extension lead and a hub with no issues across three different pc's/ laptops
Are you able to repeat the error with a different laptop?
I wouldn't worry about the hub being the issue, but look at the pc/laptop side and diagnose the BSOD
Cheers
