"Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel" error even though website uses TLS 1.2

I need help troubleshooting a "Could not create SSL/TLS secure channel" error when attempting to connect to the TLS test endpoint (tls1test.salesforce.com) even though my website is using TLS 1.2. Does anyone have a checklist I can look at?

My website attempts to connect to Salesforce. When I right click on my website and choose Inspect Page > Security, I see "The connection to this site uses a strong protocol (TLS 1.2), a strong key exchange (ECDHE_RSA with P-384), and an obsolete cipher (AES_256_CBC with HMAC-SHA1)."

Could the obsolete cipher be a problem for Salesforce or should I look at other things instead? Thanks in advance... this is puzzling me a lot because I got past the error on a clone of this web server, but not on the real web server itself, with the same steps in IIS and ASP.NET config file, and I'm not sure yet what the difference is.
