Make a new restore point:

Windows driver verifier will stress drivers.
Misbehaving drivers typically produce BSOD.
After each BSOD you will need to turn off the tool and return to the desktop.
To turn off the tool learn the Windows Recovery Environment (RE) commands: reset and bootmode
On the desktop run the DM log collector and upload results into this thread.
The logs will be troubleshooted and if there is/are problems requiring uninstalling/reinstalling drivers or testing hardware comments will be made in the thread.
Windows driver verifier then needs to be restarted to find the next misbehaving driver.
The tool will be run for approximately 48 hours.
After the last BSOD it will run for an additional 36 hours.
If there are no BSOD that will complete the troubleshooting with the tool.
Start the testing with the 3 customized tests in the Ten Forums link.
If there are no BSOD the number of simultaneous customized tests will be increased (similar to the Microsoft link).
Sometimes there can be performance problems or slow boots while using the tool.
If there are problems the customized settings can be modified.
Perform the following steps before using the tool:
a) make a new restore point
Restore Point - Add "Create Restore Point" to Context Menu in Windows - Windows 7 Help Forums
b) make a backup image and save the image to another disk drive or the cloud
Imaging with free Macrium - Windows 7 Help Forums
c) learn how to use the Windows RE commands: reset and bootmode
So if I leave it run while I sleep and go to work how will I know if it crashed? It'll Blue Screen and then restart so I won't know if it ever crashed if I don't actually see it.
The startup and recovery settings were modified earlier in the thread.
Automatic restart was unchecked.
When there is a BSOD it typically will display a bugcheck with : (
Dump Files - Configure Windows to Create on BSOD - Windows 7 Help Forums
Most often Windows driver verifier BSOD occur immediately after starting the tool.
If there are no immediate BSOD then you can increase the number of simultaneous customized tests by 2 to 4 / hour.
