Total System hang-up when importing FBX from Maya

Has anyone else here run into problems when importing FBX files, particularly exported from Maya? I find that whenever I do, not just Blender, but all of Windows completely freezes, and I have to press my PC’s reset button to get out of it. It does not seem to matter if what I’m importing is high or low poly, whether or not it has a rig, or anything. And I have no problem importing .OBJ files from Maya.

Here’s my system specs:
OS: Windows 7 Ultimate 64-bit
RAM: 16 GB
Blender 2.77a
Maya 2017 Student Version

Any ideas? Thanks ahead…
