BSOD Bad_Pool_Caller WOULD LIKE BSOD TEAM MEMBER PLS

I have been posting on multiple forums and not sure what the problem is.
Some say that it is my usb Linksys AC1200 adapter, others say that it is a driver issue..
I'm asking for help here since I am going absolutely batshit insane.

It happens randomly when I'm surfing or playing an online game...
Basically anything requiring the internet. Sometimes I go a day and a half without a blue screen, other times it blue screens every 30-40 minutes.

I just really want to know what the issue is since it is telling me the Native Wifi Driver or Virtual Wifi Filter Driver are causing it.

Attached is the zip file that I was told to attach to my post.

I made a post on reddit and also made a post on Tom's Hardware as well, but the response (on Tom's Hardware) was a bit hard to understand.

:/ Hopefully I can get some answers here.

Hello and Welcome to SevenForums.

Don't worry, you can get easy help here.

Run MemTest86+ for 8 passes. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/105647-ram-test-memtest86.html

Run all updates from Windows Update and run sfc /scannow and chkdsk /f do the samething for chkdsk /f but type instead in chkdsk /f. http://www.sevenforums.com/tutorials/1538-sfc-scannow-command-system-file-checker.html

Update your Realtek Wireless USB driver.

Hey! Thanks!
So ram is fine, no errors (ran memtest already). SFC was ok. CHKDSK was also fine. No errors or bad files.
My realtek driver is the latest one as well.

Yes. I installed all the important updates, and the optional updates have nothing to do with the driver(s) in question from what I'm seeing. :/

Was someone able to look at the dump files and analyze it?

Massive problem. Now my computer is looping on a bsod........
Keeps restarting and hitting a bsod. Can't even log in...

EDIT: I can't even do a system restore. WTF just happened?
EDIT 2: Apparently System restore failed, but didn't? I attached another zip of the dump files.... It has another dump somehow even though I did the restore. The restore said it couldn't complete. But I ran it in safe mode and disabled the driver verifier and a pop up box said it did finish the system restore... I am not doing that driver verifier again lol.

That's good because Driver Verifier caught the misbehaving driver. It's WinCDEmu who caused it. Uninstall it.

What do the dumps say though to you? Mainly because I need that NIwincdemu.sys file. It is part of Native instruments. So I don't think that is the file causing the blue screens.

Someone in the reddit thread said this when analyzing the dumps.
"It's always crashing with the Realtek USB Wireless network driver on the stack (the Linksys device uses a Realtek chip), so I'm pretty sure that's causing this."

I just need the bad pool caller to be fixed and not have a driver verifier bsod.

The BAD_POOL_CALLER blamed WinCDEmu. I said wrong.

There is no need for another thread - Laith is 100% correct. WinDBG clearly identifies WinCDEmu.sys as the problem. It belongs to NATIVE INSTRUMENTS GmbH ISO mounter software.

As you can see the driver is quite outdated. Check the software developer for a newer driver, or uninstall the software.

You also seem to have issues with the Realtek wireless USB adapter driver:
