BSOD after unplug battery/wall

Win 10 Pro
64x
Came with Win 7, Win 10 then forced itself on it, had issues, reset back to 7(cnt remeber if it was a save or fresh install)
Age- 6+ years( Purchased from alienware the last month before they were bought by dell)
Not 100% on if I restarted fresh from a save or if I reinstalled win 7 fresh but Im pretty sure I didnt stay with Win10. Kinda quit using the PC for awhile so I dont fully remember.
Intel R i7-2670QM @ 2.20GH
Nvidia 580m Graphics
Not sure about the MB but the Power Supply is 240w(big flat brick style that was recalled)
Alienware M17xR3- Laptop

 

Issues that seem to be causing the blue screen is, a Windows defender antivirus KB2267602 & a cumulative update for win 10 version 1809(KB4482887) that bring up 0x800706be

 

In device manager under other devices it shows 2 with exclaimation marks- both show CODE 28 on location Microsoft ACPI compliant system & the other is PCI express root Complex.

 

BSOD -Mainly power state driver failure, ocassionally kernal security & rarely shown a couple other 1s before going back to the driver state failure

 

I followed every majority used trick to fix it, the wuauserv stops & starts with Ren C software distribution, all of that. SFC scan, troublershooter, Im sure Im leaving out a few methods. Nothing has worked but when I do the stops & starts of Wuauserv/net bits etc..it only gives me 1 blue screen. When i use troubleshoot it states something is waiting on a pending restart but I cant just restart the PC due to the BSOD.  Its as if it starts the process all over again.
This is exactly what happened last time when it all of a sudden it restarted once perfectly, fixed itself and the updates installed. Only thing I haven't done is delete contents of softwaredistribution, because there are 2 folders, 1 with.old & 1 without so Im not sure which to empty & I wasn't sure if I needed to be in safe mode to do so(following online repair sheets).

 

Long story short- Never had an issue on Win 7 until Win 10 got through 1 day and I dont remember much after because I quit using it & gaming for awhile. Then when I started using it again I started getting blue screens & failure to updates. It only seemed to be tripped by unplugging(cord & battery) the PC for cleaning or when I repaired the failed CD drive.
After so many issues with games due to what I call the Nvidia block out, overall slow performance & failure to update..one day blue screens started happening. I could barely get it to desktop & kept it in sleep mode to avoid shut down for almost 3 months. At this point I needed my PC back in top shape so I took it to a friend who tried to help fix it, did the wuauserv stop & start, and basically every trouble shoot option we could find on google with the error codes it showed. 

 

We finally gave up & did a fresh Windows install but it was of Win 10 Pro(because thats what he had, though I preferred 7). It worked and took a few restarts to get everything working properly but finally it would turn on & off without issue or blue screen. Then the failed updates started again. Almost 2 months went by with this problem but out of nowhere, after nothing special was done the updates slowly started reaching a higher level of progress until they finally worked perfectly. 

 

The PC continued to work perfectly on Win 10 Pro for a little over a year with only 1 issue. After Win10 was installed my battery slowly died even while plugged in & would no longer charge. Now its at 0% and wont charge but shows its good while testing. 

 

I had to move the PC because of a new desk & I unplugged it & while it was unplugged I took the battery out & cleaned the fans. Once I turned it back on I started getting blue screens. Power State Driver Failure mostly but occasionally a Security kernal & a couple others I only saw once. Now its mainly those 2 and the blue screens repeat or an hour or so before desktop, sometimes it can take alot longer or stops at 0% info gathered and does nothing for hours.

 

 

 

THINGS TO MENTION-
I have a new SSD I can install but would like to figure these repeat problems so it can be avoided when installing & updating. Also I was going to keep the OEM HD for extra space but now Im not sure if thats a good idea. 
Once it hits desktop, task manager shows disk at 100% for about 15 minutes though it only shows maybe 3 things using 1mb each.
BSOD only happen when PC is completely powered off/ unplugged or battery removal. Once fixed if plugged in, zero issue
Upon first installing Win 10 Pro, it showed I had intel graphics & an i5 CPU when I have Nvidia Graphics & an i7 CPU.
Once installed, blue screen finally gone, all updates complete, I made a save/restore point but it no longer says I have 1 and the only one it shows is if I made 1 the previous day(so for 1+ month it shows I made a save the day before while trying to repair the BSOD)


I know it alot but I tried to put as much info in as possible. Any suggestions on what to do would be extremely appreciated.

Correct it is on Win 10 currently. Not sure if going back to 7 would fix any of the issues that happen only when the PC is unplugged. Sorry about the length just figured as much info/background may help. I tried to keep the main & important parts at the top..rest is background
