So what is going on is that I just recently got told that I should switch everything I have on my hdd to my sdd because my pc would boot up slow. I would always think it was fine since it's just taking its time booting everything up. So after I had done that, I had reset my pc because it would still crash my games and pc. my first blue screen was "PFN LIST CORRUPT", and it would just boot up again. (this is in a span of a week).

Everything seems fine for a few days until my games start to crash. Earlier today when I woke up I had gotten an error code and was getting "Error code 0xc0000221". I was talking with a specialist today with my problems and he was recommending getting both new hdd and ssd since my hdd is running at 100 % every time my pc starts, causing it to be malfunctioning, and a new ssd to play for gaming. I was wondering if I can fix anything ?

You might want to mention the age of the PSU. In fact I wouldn't trust any device to be powered by that PSU.

Where did you source the installer for he OS? Did you manually reinstall all the latest drivers relevant to your motherboard in an elevated command?
 
#1 - Drop that specialist.

#2 - Run "dism" and "sfc /scannow" to find and fix any corrupted files.

#3 - Look in Reliabiiity History/Monitor and Event Viewer for error codes, warnings, or even informational events being captured just befor or at the time of any crashes or other problems.

#4 - Slow boot: Check in BIOS for a "verbose mode" that will display what the system is doing or trying to do.
Pay attention to the display when booting becomes slow.
