Optiplex 745 - does this machine run Windows 10?
I've had a Dell Optiplex 745 desktop for a few years now and a couple of years ago I upgraded from Windows 7 to Windows 10 (when Windows 10 came out, I upgraded it). I have been fairly regular Blue screen errors (various stop codes)... I have run all the Dell diagnostics but it doesn't find any errors while running SupportAssist... any ideas?
No Events found!

Thank you for your message.
This system hasn’t been tested for Windows 10. In fact, this system does not have signed drivers for Windows 7.
When there is an incompatible OS installed, the system will boot. However, you will have blue screen errors & there could be devices which would stop responding or quit working altogether.
Run a blue screen viewer, something like this http://bit.ly/1GoNC21 to check the exact cause, to check if this is a hardware or OS failure.

It ran just fine in Windows 7, when I upgraded to Windows 10 - crash screens started to occur.

I ran the "Whocrash" software you suggested. What do I do with the information it gives me?
