Computer wont boot, Bad system config info

My computer was working normally until I turned it on from sleep and it blue screened. It's now in a constant cycle of automatic repair and it doesn't actually let it repair anything. It keeps blue-screening with the message bad system config info. I don't know what the problem is and I checked my hardware and it seems fine.

It won't let me reset my pc because it just says there was an error and I don't have another computer either. System restore doesn't work, the only thing I can access is command prompt and I tried chkdsk and nothing is working.

    It seems like the "Bad System Config Info" error could be related to corrupted BCD or system files. Try these steps:

    1)Run Startup Repair from Windows installation media.

    2)Rebuild the BCD using these commands:

    bashbootrec /fixmbr

     bootrec /fixboot

    bootrec /rebuildbcd

    Check for hardware issues like loose connections.

    If none of these work, creating a Windows recovery media on another PC (using a USB drive) allows you to perform a clean repair or reinstall. Since you don’t have another PC now, you might need to seek help from a friend or visit a repair shop.
