Alienware M17 Windows 10 crash errors with new WiFi

Hello,

We recently got new internet in our house from Google Fiber, ever since then when I have been getting two errors seemingly randomly.

The first error is KERNAL_SECURITY_CHECK_FAILURE (which seems to happen when browsing the internet on secure sites)

The second error happens even when I am not browser the internet and the computer is sitting idle (with wifi on) - ATTEMPTED_SWITCH_FROM_DPC

I have uninstalled the drivers (and checked the box to delete permanently) both Killer LAN & Wifi drivers, reinstalled them from Dells recommended drivers for my system and it is still doing the same thing.

Get this though, it only does it at home, I bring my laptop to work for 8 to 10+ hours with no crashes.... soon as I get home I get these two crash errors 5 or 6 times a night and I want to through this computer through (into) the wall lol...

I have some moderate computer knowledge, but this one is eluding me, if anyone has any suggestions then please help I would be grateful. :)  I am about ready to revert back to Windows 8, or reinstall a fresh copy of Windows 10.

Thanks,

All,

I have resolved this issue.  Instead of using the Dell drivers I used the drivers from the Killer website who had updated the entire driver suite on the day of my post above (Sep 25th).

If anyone else is having issues with Google Fiber / wifi then this may fix your problem as well, just download the new driver suite from the Killer website.
