Product: HP Compaq 6300 Small Form Fact

I have a HP Compaq 6300 Small Form Factor in which I just replaced the motherboad. It is working fine. I can boot to a bootable USB drive and (1.) start a Windows 8 or Windows 10 clean installation. I can (2.) boot from a Linux Mint 17.3 boot able USB drive and load that OS fine. When I try the installation from any of the afore mentioned OSs' (Windows 8/10-Linux Mint 17) they all will get a memory or hard disk error and fail the installation early in the installation. I have tried this on two SSD drives and two standard HDs. I am at a loss on what to try next. Any help would be great. Thanks. -Matt
