I made a second post almost simultaneous to you composing the post to 
which I am now responding.

In that post I was suggesting using a Live ISO to distinguish general 
hardware issues from strictly installer issues.

I suggest using
<https://cdimage.debian.org/debian-cd/current-live/i386/iso-hybrid/debian-live-8.8.0-i386-standard.iso>

It is a command line only version of Debian -the lowest common 
denominator approach to what will run on your hardware.
