FINALLY got the darn thing to boot. Tried countless attempts from various hints and tips, and nothing worked. I managed to get into the System Restore area, something I had attempted but failed at, but this time, it let me. The first and constant BSOD occurred on 07/20/17. I did a restore to 07/09/17 and I was able to login normally. Honestly, I don't know what changed since then; I don't really update or install much, but I will have to be careful from now on.

I had been there already and that article is what led me here

I have dealt with the BlackScreenOfDeath frequently enough since I upgraded to Windows 10, a move I seriously regret. After the initial installation, there was a display adapter driver issue, which was resolved shortly after the upgrade. Occasionally I would reboot and have the BSOD reappear. I would reboot once or twice more and would be able to get to my desktop without any problems. Thursday, it happened again. Only this time, I cannot get to my desktop. I have attempted to reboot many many times and always get the BSOD. With the blinking cursor. I googled and tried multiple remedies, none have worked. I tried to update the driver, and was told I had the latest. I disabled the display adapter, while in safe mode, and rebooted. No luck. I uninstalled the display adapter, while in safe mode, and rebooted. No luck. I unplugged all devices (audio, USB hubs, mouse, keyboard) and rebooted. No luck. I seriously don't know what else to do. I'm no computer dummy, but am certainly no expert. I amthisclose to taking the computer, placing it in the driveway, and running back and forth over it. I have seen hints about creating a new user, but don't know how to do that. Right now I'm working in Safe Mode, which really sucks, since I cannot access my Excel files. I am getting some nonsense about not being able to verify the license for the app. SMH. It's a Dell Inspiron One 2320-2678MS Desktop, touch screen, Windows 10 Home, 64 bit. I believe it had Windows 7 pre-installed. 06/2012. Any help and advice would be GREATLY appreciated.
