Error code 0xc0000221

Question

I recently bought a pc and when i put in my hard drive and load windows onto it it. When I do it keeps giving me blue screens where it basically says there is an error and we need to collect some data then we will restart your pc. So I waited for a whole night then just restarted the computer until it would do an auto repair. When I tried to do that it gave me a recovery screen that tells me that file:\WINDOWS\system32\winload.exe has its header checksum for the file doesn’t match the computed checksum and gives me the error code 0xc0000221 and sometimes 0xc0000225. if anyone knows a fix to it or has experienced something like this and fixed it please help
