Quite often this problem results from a faulty RAM memory. This is most likely the reason if you started getting the 0xC0000005 error message after installing a new RAM memory.

3) Ground yourself out before you touch the memory!!(for example, touch metal screw on a lightswitch).

on another PC, download free version of memtest86 and use it to make a USB. It doesn't need windows to run so boot off it and check your ram sticks, 1 stick at a time. Any errors means stick needs to be replaced

If you want to get into safe mode to try SFC, see below:
restart PC, at screen where you click to get the login screen, click the power icon
before clicking anything else, hold shift down and click restart
this loads advanced start up

choose troubleshoot
choose advanced
choose start up options
hit the restart button
choose safe mode with networking by using number associated with it.
PC will restart and load safe mode
