BSOD - Network Driver issue
I began getting a bunch of blue screens ever since I started a new job and need to use a certain vpn: Dell SonicWall Global VPN client. The crashes usually point to swipesec.sys, which is the clients drivers, but I will get occasional blue screens when the client is not on at all. When I blue screen without using the vpn client it seems to point to NETIO.sys or ntkrnlmp.exe. But the error seems to always be IRQL_not_less_than_or_equal or Corrupted Pool.
I have tried downloading windbg and debugging the minidumps but nothing is sticking out to me. I have obviously uninstalled and reinstalled the mentioned vpn client driver. I was originally getting the same BSOD in windows 7, but I ordered a new hard drive, and installed a fresh copy of windows 10. The first thing I did was download and install the client and when I opened it I immediately BSOD. I have run memtest86, chkdsk, updated my bios, and recently installed another 4gigs of memory which seemed to help a bit.
This problem has gotten me so frustrated I finally just gave up and bought a completely new rig today, because I obviously need this software for my job, and no one else at my work experiences this issue. But I was wondering if someone here could see what I couldn't, and perhaps make this computer salvageable.
