Kernel panic with Software Defined Radio

I've been playing with a cheap software defined radio dongle (the NooElec R820T based on the common RTL2832U chipset). Sometimes it works, but usually whenever I run a program that uses the SDR, the computer will either immediately throw a kernel panic or simply freeze. I've been using Linux for years and I've never even seen an actual kernel panic until now. Heres a Screenshot.

The problem only happens on my laptop, which is a Lenovo X200t Thinkpad. It does not happen on my other computer, which also runs Arch. It also doesn't happen under Kali Linux on the same machine, so I don't think its a hardware issue.

Heres a link to the thread I made on the RTL-SDr subreddit. They recommended I report it to you guys.
