I believe I found the culprit. Last major thing I uninstalled before trying again was the
Qualcomm Atheros Killer Network Manager. I removed it for stability issues but it seems to have cleared the crash. If you are using the Killer Wireless adapters and also have their software installed try falling back to a generic driver (especially on Windows 8) and seeing if that helps. Use the killer cleaner to ensure that it is completely off...
