After trying to install a fresh install of windows 10 on an older windows 7 mini desktop PC I get the blue screen of "Your PC ran into a problem and needs to restart". Windows 10 installed then did the first reboot and instantly comes up with the error and I can't get past it to the setup stage. I have reset all the bios settings and Windows 7 was working on it no problem before so does anyone have any ideas why this is happening?
Please upload your system specs
I installed an SSD with a copy of Windows 10 on it and it booted just fine, so it has got to be something to do with the hard drive that's in it. It's a 500GB Seagate Barracuda.
The Hard drive was working perfectly fine on Windows 7 before I tried to install a fresh copy of Windows 10 on the same system?

Well there you go then. Sometimes those Hard drives do strange things when they start to go.

I have tried to do that step, but because I have already wiped windows 7 and installed windows 10 on the drive it won't boot on the computer it came from because of the problem. I tried connecting it to my PC with a SATA to USB cable but my computer doesn't recognise it and when I go to Disk Part to check if its there, it is but has a red X on it and when I try to initialise it I get an error.
So I'm trying to figure out other ways I can check the health of the Hard drive.
