Windows 7 upgraded to 10, reverted to 7, now random reboots, locked up
I made the mistake of upgrading Windows 7 to Windows 10 on my Dell XPS 702X laptop before reading that Dell does NOT intend to upgrade drivers to support the laptop on the newer OS. I reverted back to 10 due to the fans running all the time and the laptop was always running hot.
The reversal process appeared to go fine without errors, but almost every day since August the system will suddenly stop and reboot. It always hangs on the welcome screen. After looking up the issue on various forums, I found that a temp fix that sometimes helps is to turn off the wireless lan card during hard shutdown and restart, or sometimes booting to safe mode with a command prompt and running chkdsk /f.
It did it again today, and I started digging deeper. I have turned off the automatic restart in properties and now it should BSOD me with a more specific error. The error log indicates a LONG list of the same error. I'm not savvy enough to begin to understand this! Thanks in advance:
