For around a month now, my pc has been blue screening on startup every once in a while. The error message I get is BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO. After I reset my pc, it turns on and works just fine. I have never experienced back to back blue screens.

Solution
Hello...1) do you have any red or yellow flags for hardware in your "device manager"
2) set your MB BIO's for "slow/normal" boot speed save&exit.

I heard Skylake CPU's are only being supported on Windows 10. Updating will likely fix your problem as is seems the hardware is unlikely bad. And a new OS like windows 10 will likely work better with it. (Of course the whole problem may be a corrupted install anyway)
