Win 7 Dual Boot Black Screen/Freezes

Upon doing some troubleshooting, it seems that the problem actually lies with the Targus docking station. I unplugged both UV Plus units from the dock and plugged them directly into my MBP--haven't gone to a black screen since. I guess I'll have to try another dock and see if I can find a solution, as the MBP doesn't have enough USB ports for all my devices.

The ACP45US docking station is an old dock from Targus and doesn't even contain DisplayLink. I wonder if it cannot deliver enough power from its USB ports for both adapters, which is why you find the issue when the adapters are connected through the dock.
