When attempting to install the Killer Ethernet E2400 Driver / Version: 1.1.56.1236_A01, the following issues occur:

- CAUTION ERROR/InstallShield DLL Custom Action
[Exclamation Mark inside a yellow triangle] "Can not find the entry point of function 'TweakLOMPerformance', make sure it is exported.

- The installation will not continue or complete until you click an "OK" box for the above mentioned CAUTION ERROR

- Once you click "OK," the installation will complete and inform you that your system must reboot. At this point, 1 of 2 things will occur
    -1. The system will blue screen crash immediately upon installation complete
    -2. The system will blue screen crash after reboot, at the windows log-in/enter account password stage

- There are three BSOD possibilities:
    1. BAD_POOL_HEADER (most common result)
    2. KERNEL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE
    3. IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

- Once the BSOD happens, you will not be able to boot into Windows 10. The system will crash, reboot, crash, reboot, and then Win 10 initiates its System Recovery/Repair program. If you have a system restore, then you can successfully reverse this driver installation, which will once again permit you back into Win 10 w/ no further BSOD. If you do NOT have a system restore save point, then your options become more extreme: 1. Restore/Reset prior to the installation of the affected driver listed above; 2. Factory Restore/Reset; 3. NOTE: Fix Windows Startup FAILS to resolve the issue
