Ok thanks! I'm out of town until Sunday but I will post back ASAP. In the meantime can you tell me how to open an elevated prompt?

Driver Verifier will stress your drivers and cause BSODs if any fail. Follow this tutorial to enable/disable it. Driver Verifier - Enable and Disable

Enable Driver Verifier but only enable these options:
Standard settings and IRP logging step 3.
Don't enable Force Pending I/O Requests

Warning

Make a System Restore point before enabling Driver Verifier.

Note

Your system will act very sluggishly while DV is enabled, this is normal as your drivers will be being subjected to heavy testing in order to make them crash.

Run Driver Verifier for 24 hours while using your PC as normal, if a BSOD occurs upload the new logs for analysis.

Ok I'll get on that right away. Any thoughts on my dell dock disappearing?

I have started the verifier twice and both times this was the result:

After that screen I get this screen:

Use the System Restore option.

Ok that worked the first time but the second time I got this. I went in to recovery options and restored it from there. What now?

Disable Driver Verifier and see if you can boot normally. Ultimately I'm thinking a clean install of Windows would be your best bet here.
