Right, try to build a kernel from pristine 3.11.6 sources without any
vmware code patched in or loaded. To be sure, get the sources anew so
that you don't have any remnants of those modules and build the whole
thing from scratch.
AFAIK, those vendor packages have some hooks into the kernel
installation path so make sure you remove those vmware packages too with
your distro's package manager or however they are being removed.

Yeah, from the looks of it, it probably would happen if you do other
things too.

Well, since you started seeing this after patching 3.10, I don't think
the BIOS was the problem so no need to do any BIOS updates for now.
HTH.
