    Hi i have a problem with my dell xps l702x laptop.
    I have decided to upgrade my OS to windows 10 but resulting in bad performance (freeze,slow,etc)
    So i have decided to downgrade it back to original OS which is windows 7.
    But after the process is done, my laptop is goin on a BSOD restart loop.

    This is what i have been done :

    1. Upgrade to windows 10
    2. Updating GPU driver to match the new OS (w10 64bit)
    3. Reverted back to windows 7
    4. BSOD 0x0000007E message.
    5. Jumped to windows repair mode (unable to fix)
    6. Restarted, and going back to BSOD
    7. Trying to enter safe mode But somehow my keyboard and trackpad is not working ( plugged another keyboard and mouse doesnt work as well, but strangely in windows repair mode the keyboard works fine)

    Im pretty much giving up now.
    Is there any solution to my case?
