System failures after Corsair driver updates are not a novelty, but BSOD is one of the most common issues. This is how it’s described by one user:
After running optional system update for Corsair devices, my ASUS RoG G771 laptop is completely unusable. It’s stuck in a BSOD reboot loop and not one recovery method is working.[…] Safe mode doesn’t work, either.
