This happened after Dell came out and installed a new monitor in the machine.
I am posting this from Safe Mode as we speak from the computer with the issue. I have tried running a chkdsk on the computer and it fixed some errors. I tried finding the logfile, but maybe I had to have a special argument telling it to log. Sfc /scannow came back with nothing, but the machine will not boot into windows normally.
I am pretty certain that what is going on here is driver related, because of the hardware switch, but I do not know how to narrow it down to figure out what driver is causing the issue. I have attempted to reinstall the video drivers and uninstall the PnP monitor drivers for this machine. I have included the BSOD files. If you need any more information about this machine let me know. The machine itself is new and was 100% working before the monitor replacement.
Thanks,

Hi ghutchison,
Welcome to the 10blog
Please try again to upload the chkdsk log Check Disk (chkdsk) - Read Event Viewer Log - Windows 7 Help blogDiagnostics TestClean boot
Please try the following:
- Open taskmanager
- Go to the tab startup
- disable everything
- Search msconfig and open it
- Go to the tab services
- Check 'hide microsoft services'
- Uncheck all other services
- Click apply and click ok
- Reboot if asked
See if the problem persist, if the problem does not persist enable in the startup tab in taskmanager 1 item and in the services tab in msconfig also 1 service, reboot and see if the problem persist. Keep doing this until you find the culprit or there is nothing left.

I attempted to run the chkdsk from cmd prompt in safemode. Was then prompted to restart the computer to run the check. I restart the computer and then it blue screened same stop code error. I load back into safe mode, clean boot the thing, doesn't work. I go into the system recovery tools bootrec /fixmbr /fixboot run okay but /rebuildbcd displayed there being zero windows installations. Weird thing I noticed too in Diskpart...the drive is set gpt so i cannot set it as active.
Do all of these things correlate? I am pretty lost how it would go from working > broken screen> working with broken screen>replaced screen> won't boot. I've spent a lot of time trying ot get this thing to work. If I can't get it up by tomorrow I'm wiping it.
You can't use mbr commands on a GPT disk, that just won't work.I load back into safe mode, clean boot the thing, doesn't work.

What command did you try to run for chkdsk?
Isn't uefi a hybrid of the two?You can't use mbr commands on a GPT disk, that just won't work.
What command did you try to run for chkdsk?
Chkdsk /r /f
UEFI is the interface communication between the hardware and OS where GPT and MBR are partitioning schemes for a disk.
