Edimax 7811UN causes Windows to crash

[Synyster06Gates]

It looks like I'm stuck with nowhere to go besides buying a new wireless adapter. Since updating to Windows 10, my computer crashes after about 5 minutes of use. Everything is fantastic for those 5 minutes - then if I'm browsing the internet, Chrome displays "waiting for cache" then all of Windows will stop responding. No start menu, no CTRL ALT DELETE, just dead. Windows crashes then I have to do a hard reset. Any help would be appreciated. I have already tried reinstalling the drivers for the device.

16GB Kingston HyperX Fury RAM
Sapphire R9 270 OC GPU
