Well the first thought is a bad .iso 

Next I would try it with the hdd instead and just wipe it first

The next thing being try a live OS or a system care/fix OS 

Can the cpu and ram handle the OS you tried? is it x32 or x64?

no just no xD but if you must use that cpu I assume you have 2gb of ram? so try win7 home basic or even Zorin 9 lite

I would strongly recommend zorin 

 

If you actually has win7 working fine before then I go back to a bad install or most likely a corrupt iso
