USB usually is more reliable assuming the ISO is good. I helped someone a while back who had only a partial version of the ISO and that caused similar problems to what you see.

Yeah, if it worked on another system, that means there is a high likelihood the ISO is fine. Let us know how the clean command and then clean install works out.
The Clean install didn't work either...
I'm really starting to think that it's a hardware issue now.
WarningBefore you proceed with the following, answer these two questions: Are you still under warranty? Does your warranty allow you to open up the machine to check hardware? If you are unsure of the answers to these questions, contact your system manufacturer. WARNING: The steps that follow can void your warranty!!!
Strip down your system to run only the bare essentials: one RAM module, the CPU, motherboard, one hard disk, one graphics card (or use onboard graphics if you have it), keyboard, mouse, and one monitor. See how the system behaves during install. If it is stable, add one piece of hardware back at a time until you get crashes again. Take notes of what hardware you add and how the system responds to the hardware changes.
As you add and remove hardware, follow these steps for ESD safety:
- Shut down and turn off your computer.
- Unplug all power supplies to the computer (AC Power then battery for laptops, AC power for desktops)
- Hold down the power button for 30 seconds to close the circuit and ensure all power drains from components.
- Make sure you are grounded by using proper grounding techniques, i.e. work on an anti-static workbench, anti-static desk, or an anti-static pad. Hold something metallic while touching it to the anti-static surface, or use an anti-static wristband to attach to the anti-static material while working.
Once these steps have been followed, it is safe to remove and replace components within your computer.
After stripping it down to the bare essentials it didn't get a bluescreen, the screen just went black and it rebooted.
This is really starting to get confusing, I have never seen this before...
edit: also safe mode stops at disk.sys if it helps...
Sounds like either a bad hard disk or bad hard disk connection. Check your connections first. If those look good, see if you can get a new cable.
I suspect it is not the hard disk since you had problems with the other one, too...
I have already tried to use 3 different hard drives, and 4 different cables...
