Did you install on the other machine from the same USB stick?

Either way boot off the stick and right at the start when you get the
screen showing a keyboard icon at the bottom hit a key and select the
option to check the files on the stick. Perhaps they are corrupted or
perhaps the PC does not like that stick.

Maybe even better put it on a DVD and try that if possible.
