It's likely the driver causing the BSOD. Try to update it, or contact the maker to see if you can get a newer driver that works in Win7, or even a Vista driver. At the least try using it in a different USB port. If that fails, I'm going...

If it really comes down to it, get an adjustable mouse and set it to 1k DPI.

Try going through and checking all the power connections and ensuring they're snug. Modular PSU? Check both ends in that case. I've also had a modular cable be bad out of the box (for SATA). If those are good, check how the video card...
