DisplayLink 7.9 M4 Crashes Windows 7 Pro

DisplayLink 7.9 M4 has crashed my Windows 7 Pro SP1 installation twice. The first time was after I tried to update from an older driver version to 7.9 M4. After restart Windows 7 was unrecoverable. I tried all the tools that I normally use professionally and some I found by searching. None were able to recover Windows so I started over with a fresh installation and after installing the 7.9 M4 drivers and restarting Windows failed to start. This time it was able to recover on its own. I had performed a full back up on the new installation prior to install just in case. During recover it seems that windows has removed the driver and associated software but I ran the cleaner tool just in case. I also received a message that 2 of the drivers were unsigned. I am usually able to accept and continue but this wasn't possible for some reason. I checked around and I'm not seeing that others are having this specific issue.

As far as my system goes, I'm running a Lenovo Y700 with AMD FX-8800P and the newest Radeon Crimson driver package. The display device is a Coredy DHD3000 dual head display adapter. I was previously able to use the adapter with the included rev 1 cd (7.9 M2) but experienced screen glitches when using Mozilla software, specifically with Thunderbird Mail client. As mentioned after updating to M4 I experienced a hard crash.
