BugCheck A, {404, 2, 1, 8340471e}

*** WARNING: Unable to verify timestamp for NETwsn02.sys
*** ERROR: Module load completed but symbols could not be loaded for NETwsn02.sys
Probably caused by : vwififlt.sys ( vwififlt!FilterSendNetBufferListsComplete+d2 )

Hi,
the above Bugcheck is usually caused by drivers (especially if they've recently been updated), system service or Bios. The driver named as a probable cause is the windows virtual wifi driver although I can also see that your Intel WiFi driver was involved also.
Try updating the Intel WiFi driver from the Lenovo support site:
Link Removed
If you already updated this driver recently then try rolling back to the previous driver.

I'm also unfamiliar with your AV client and if the bsod continues try removing to test. Install MSE in it's place as this is ultra stable (you can always re-install later).

Let's check on Windows files by running the system file checker. Open the start menu, find command prompt, right click on it and run as admin. Type:
sfc /scannow
Press enter and await results.

Please post any new dump files.
