Unable to d/l ap directory followed by other problems

A little over a month ago I got a new Lenovo T400 along with the 7.6.3.3012 client. Since that time I have been unable to download the access-point directory. I've tried uninstalling/reinstalling, deleting the directories, disabling my firewall client and using the latest 8.xx client. In all cases the download starts and then fails a bit later. I've also tried the download from wireless, wired and from within our corporate network. All of them fail at about the same time into the download.
So, that is one problem, however the biggest problem happens after the download fails. After it fails I end up with BSOD's of various sorts, total machine lockups or various error messages such as TCP/IP stack full messages. In all cases, once the a-p download attempt fails I need to reboot my machine. These events were also happening when I hadn't attempted to download through the client but I then found out that the download attempt was happening automatically even when the client wasn't running. It seemed to happen abuot 10-15 minutes after my machine was rebooted.
So, now I need to bring up the client, start the software update but then leave the software update download prompt up. In other words, I do not click on the 'Download checked items...' box. Before I did that my machine was being rebooted about 5-10 times a day. With that prompt left up (even across VPN disconnects/reconnects) I have been able to go a week without an unexpected reboot. So, I've pretty much confirmed that the download failure is somehow causing my machine to be very unstable.
Here's a list of the blue screen's that happened before I found the workaround:

What steps do I need to take to diagnose why these problems are happening? It seems to me that my second problem is more serious so I'd like to focus on that one first.
