I217-LM Cannot Start Code 10

TTy — Sun, 20 Mar 2016 03:24:05 GMT

I have searched for the possible answer on the forums and outside but no avail.

Issue: Device Cannot Start Code 10

Computer: Thinkpad W540

OS: Windows 7 Pro

Architecture: x64

Short-term Solution: Disable/Enable the device on Device Manager

The things I already did are the following:

Windows Update
BIOS are set to factory default
Lenovo System Update
Downloaded and (re-)installed drivers from Intel's Website (older and newer/-est drivers)
Deleted previous drivers
Disk cleanup

Any other troubleshooting steps that I may have missed? Please don't tell me that the motherboard used on the W540 is defective by design.
