BAD_CONFIG_INFO on boot after updates, but I can boot into safe mode fine

Hello, My PC has been acting strange, sometimes on booting I get the BSOD Stop screen, with as information "BAD\_CONFIG\_INFO". The first time I got this was about 5 months ago, I suspected a faulty hard drive and crystaldiskinfo told me that it was about to fail so I replaced it. Now months later, about a week ago, on a new drive, I got that error again, I fiddled with the computer and it eventually just booted normally, the strange thing is I know I didn't really do anything that could have changed the way the computer boots, I was still trying to figure out what could be wrong and voila! It booted into windows fine just like that.

I kept on running my computer and giving it normal boot cycles everyday and today, I just ran the windows 10 latest updates and I got the same. BSOD with "BAD\_CONFIG\_INFO" on boot. So I boot into safe mode with networking and updated all my drivers, same thing happens, I repair the MBR from the command prompt in recovery mode and the same happens. Am now writing this from my computer's safe mode with networking.

I have no idea what's going on, i've tried repairing the MBR, cleaning the registry, and updating drivers. Still no luck. Any help on this weird inconsistent issue is greatly appreciated. Thanks

Edit: the exact message is BAD_SYSTEM_CONFIG_INFO sorry for the inaccuracy.
