Cisco VPN client, downloaded from Cisco's page, has been installed. It looks like it's the same version/build as before, but I've reinstalled anyway.

Got the login creds for the Cisco account. Will be downloading and installing the latest version of the client from this page...

And here we go, after running Driver Verifier again. For what it's worth, the BSOD did name the DNE64X.sys driver when the system crashed, and it looks like that's a Deterministic Network Enhancer driver that's vital for at least a WLAN connection (didn't try with wired Ethernet). If it is...

Uninstalled Drive Encryption for HP ProtectTools Manager. I think that was responsible for the McCrappee encryption driver. Will re-run Verifier and post results. Been busy lately, sorry for the blackout.

Looks like the McAfee encryption is something to do with an HP FDE utility. Need to find out how to rip it out without breaking other OEM drivers. I purged the files from the minidumps directory. Will go through Driver Verifier again ASAP. To answer a previous question about my tech support...

I want to do this, but cannot locate McAfee encryption in either devmgmt.msc or appwiz.cpl. There is a McAfee Endpoint Encryption Agent service present in services.msc, but I have set it to "Disabled" so it should not be loading. I have uploaded the 2 minidumps generated by BSODs with Driver...

Finally got one with the Cisco driver renamed to .old. Uploading the diags file.

Well, renaming CVPNDRVA definitely did hose my ability to connect to the company VPN, so at least I know what that corresponds to. I'm going to rename it back and try renaming dne64x instead, in hopes that that'll fix the problem equally well. I'll keep you posted. Thanks for the help so far.

I've renamed CVPNDRVA, but I have 3 copies of dne64x.sys. One is in C:\windows\system32\drivers, one is in C:\Program Files\Common Files\Deterministic Networks\DNE, and one is in C:\windows\system32\DriverStore\FileRepository\dne2000.inf_amd64_neutral_13093c410ec6ad15 Which of these should be...

Webcam and audio drivers have been updated, TeamViewer has been temporarily uninstalled.

According to the page, that's for version 5.0.07. Checked my installed version and it's 5.0.07.0440. Not sure what version post-5.0.07 the WSU download is, but the Cisco link points to my version so I'm wondering what component is outdated. I've updated the Intel gfx driver, and also updated...

Awesome, thanks for that. One question: The Cisco VPN client requires an account to download. Do you know of a way to get the latest client without the login BS or should I contact our consulting company to find out our corporate Cisco account info?

Got another one for you. I set the McAfee Endpoint Encryption Agent service to "Disabled" and stopped it. This BSOD happened during the same session.

Sophos is our corporate AV, so I can't uninstall that. I mean...I technically can, as IT Manager, but I want to keep company equipment in line with company software loadouts as best I can. If you recommend against Sophos overall I'm open to suggestions for when our license subscription is up...

Just got another BSOD after updating drivers & BIOS. Posting W7F diags. Thanks in advance for the help. EDIT: Also switched to "kernel memory dump" from "small memory dump" in sysdm.cpl. Not sure if that'll help for next time or not.
