Before addressing any computer issue, I always recommend scanning and repairing any underlying problems affecting your PC health and performance:
- Step 1 : Download PC Repair & Optimizer Tool (WinThruster for Win 10, 8, 7, Vista, XP and 2000 – Microsoft Gold Certified).
- Step 2 : Click “Start Scan” to find Windows registry issues that could be causing PC problems.
- Step 3 : Click “Repair All” to fix all issues.
Setting up weekly (or daily) automatic scans will help prevent system problems and keep your PC running fast and trouble-free.
Wally’s Answer: A lot of people get really worried when they see a blue screen error for the first time. You should stop worrying and relax because we have the solution you’re looking for. Almost all blue screen errors can be resolved once you know the error message or code. As long as you follow the instructions, you should be able to fix the problem.
Problem
The Bad_System_Config_Info or STOP 0×00000074 error appears and the computer restarts unexpectedly.
Cause
The Bad_System_Config_Info error is usually caused by faults in the computer registry.
Solution
Here are some ways to fix the Bad_System_Config_Info error:
Scan And Fix The Registry To Fix The BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO Error
The registry contains a database of information about almost everything that works on the computer. This includes configuration data about hardware and software on the computer. Everything from the music you play and the websites you visit leave their mark on the registry.
If the registry is corrupt or damaged for some reason, then you’re going to have a problem on your hands. This can lead to blue screen errors and crashes. A blue screen error occurs when Windows runs into a problem that it cannot solve and it has to restart in order to protect hardware and software components from damage.
You might get a blue screen error just once, and then never see it again, but scan your computer with WinThruster to fix the registry in case the blue screen error appears again. Make a system restore point before going forward with the scan to be on the safe side.
Use Automatic Startup Repair
In case Windows is not loading at all, use automatic startup repair to start Windows. Windows 7 and later versions will usually do this automatically after a few restarts. You can do this manually by booting your computer with a Windows installation DVD or USB and then looking for the repair option.

Happy Computing!
