HP Spectre startup fails with stopcode: Bad System Config Info.

[MS341]

Hi,  I am getting Blue screen of Death for my HP Spectre laptop.

I am getting the message Stop code : BAD SYSTEM CONFIG INFO 

I have tried system restore but it fails to restore it to a restore point with the error message "" Drive: Windows(C:)(system)  / Status: There is not enough free space to restore the disk"  and does not let me go any further.

I have removed all files and directories in the documents, downloads, OneNote folders but still getting the same error message.  The laptop  has 256gb hard disk drive. Product: TIN40EA#ABU

I will greatly appreciate if you could advise on possible solution.  Thank you.

Thank you for the solution.   I picked this up on internet and had already tried but it did not work.  I ended up reinstalling windows 10 to resolve the issue.
