BSOD after driver install

Anonymous

I got a BSOD while playing a game, I don't know if this had anything to do with the recent drivers I installed for my new network card, or the game I was playing at the time, or if it was NVCleanstall drivers that gave me some issues as well recently (now resolved). I read another user's forum post, and have uploaded my minidump dmp file and system info file here, as well as my specs.
Quick summary of events:
Playing a game, BSOD happens, computer starts up again, I find instructions to use the driver verifier, then got a couple more BSODs after restarting pc using driver verifier, then I got a screen where ASUS (my motherboard manufacturer) was trying to repair it, and it did. Then just collected all suggested files and bundled them up in the onedrive folder.

    Did another verifier test and got another log, though it wont let me compress it since I dont have permission. Also wanted to add that on the Bluescreen, it does not say what driver it is that causes the error, only 'DRIVER_VERIFIER_DETECTED_VIOLATION"

    Hi. I'm David, and I'm happy to help you.

    Driver Verifier indicates the driver "SteamStreamingMicrophone.sys" as the cause of the crash. This driver belongs to Steam.

    It is the only driver mentioned in the minidump.

    See if uninstalling the Steam Streaming Microphone, as instructed in the thread below, will make your system work stable.

    If the BSOD occurs again after doing this, share the minidump created by it. Click on the "Reply" button below my reply.
