BSOD while installing Windows 10 1803 update
A few months back, my computer was updating with the Windows 10 "1803" update. The computer froze at 54% with no signs of activity. I rebooted the computer and got it up and running again. I ran all systems tests on the computer and everything checked out fine. The upgrade began again, this was a mistake. This time it locked up at 54% again and I wasn't able to get it to reboot any longer and was left with the BSOD. I called Dell and they said it's a Microsoft problem and not much they can do about it. I read a little about the BSOD and found out about the BSOD problems with the 1803 update. The actual update really doesn't have anything I need. I decided to buy a copy of Windows 10 Pro and a new Solid State drive. I installed the drive and the new copy of windows and everything went fine. I also installed the old drive to see if I could fix the problem with a new install and it went perfect as well with my data backed up on the drive. Now, I have the SSD installed and the computer is smoking fast and runs as smooth as butter. Then 1803 comes along again. Well, it froze up at 42% now and has several more times. Although, when I reboot the computer after it locks up now it says it's loading the old version of windows (1709) and everything is fine. I've read tons of potential answers in forums but have yet found a solution. Can this be solved? Do I need the 1803 update?
