I just now have a 48+ hour window available to run this. I'm not exactly able to 'use my computer as normal' while it's running because certain activities cause basically unusable frame rates. How important is it that I actually use my computer during this period, and what I use it for? Is it kosher to just leave my machine alone for 48 hours?
While using Windows driver verifier the aim is to stress misbehaving drivers.
They should cause BSOD.
If mini dump files are created they can be collected by the log collectors.
Then the collected files can be debugged.
The computer can be used during this time period knowing that it is likely to crash.
Sometimes while using the tool there can be performance problems and slow boot.
If necessary, the customized tests can be modified.
After each BSOD if the memory.dmp file is < 1.5 GB then post a separate share link.
Make a new restore point before starting the tool:
Create System Restore Point in Windows 10
For any BSOD:
a) run the V2 log collector to collect new log files
b) open file explorer> this PC > C: > in the right upper corner search for: C:\Windows\memory.dmp
> if the file size is < 1.5 GB then zip > post a separate share link into the thread using one drive, drop box, or google drive
Going on 40 hours continuous with no issues--I'll update on that later tonight.
In the meantime, this seems potentially relevant: I still see errors in event manager being generated by the yellow ! driver that I uninstalled on Saturday (AODDriver4.01). After some snooping around, I ended up finding this:
This both gives the name of the driver and, based on some user posts, suggests I may want to delete this. Is this worth looking further into?
For Windows driver there are 3 simultaneous customized test settings in the TF link.
In the Microsoft link there are 19 simultaneous customized test settings.
Increase the number of simultaneous customized test settings by 3 - 5 / hour.

There can be performance problems and slow boot wile using the tool.
If necessary the customized settings can be modified.
If the tool has been running with the 19 simultaneous customized tests for many hours please upload a new V2.
Yes fewer customized tests.
So no misbehaving drivers.
Turn off Windows updates of non-Microsoft drivers:
Drivers - Turn Off Automatic Driver Installation - Windows 7 Help Forums
See if the driver can be installed.
Excellent, thanks for this. As for the driver: I don't have the driver, which I believe was part of Catalyst Control Center, the software package associated with my previous graphics card (Radeon HD5870). So I may be able to install the driver by installing that software--is that what you're suggesting? To be clear, I do not use and have no plans to use that old graphics card.
If possible remove any misbehaving or unused drivers.
Then attempt another upgrade to generate a new setupdiag and Panther logs.
Sorry, the prior post should have displayed uninstalled.
Looks like I'm getting an identical error to the one I was getting at the very beginning. Here are the setupdiag files. I'll hunt around for Panther files as soon as I can. Is this the same request as number (8) in post #25? I wasn't sure about the details in that case--was my response in post #26 adequate?
Yes, same as post #25
