Did you make USB using media creation tool from MS site? The error can be the iso is corrupt, not the USB itself. I would download it and make a new ISO and see if you get same thing again.

how big is the hdd you installing to? One fix is to format the drive using clean and then format it to GPT before running installer

Press Shift F10 on the installation screen, this will open cmd
type diskpart and press enter
type list disk and press enter
this shows all drives available, DVD/USB and hdd, make note of hdd number
type Select disk X - where X is the number of the hdd you want to install to, change X to that number and press enter
once the drive you want to install on is chosen, type Clean
Finally type in convert gpt.
then exit and restart PC and try install

is your bios set up as AHCI?

This is a file mismatch or corrupt error and can be caused by different issues;

a. In the case above the file was getting lost in a faulty ram stick.

b. Having the wrong keyboard type i.e windows thinks you have US keyboard but yours has Greek, Japanese etc characters.

c. You download an update like 8.1 but the licence doesn’t match what windows thinks you should have;

try making free version of memtest86 on a USB and check ram sticks, 1 at a time. It boots off USB so don't need windows. Any errors means ram is problem and needs to be replaced,
