Blue screen Stop Code : bad configuration

[Chef-Dad]

I'm not a tech guru, so trying to figure this all out is difficult.  PC was working ok this morning, but was lagging..going really slow. So I shut it down to restart and a blue screen saying error: start code bad configuration . Automatic repair couldn't fix it, now it says: D:\windows\sysytem32\logfiles\Srt\SrtTrail.txt.

Need help..my wife works from home now. Thank you
