windows 10 ran just fine. 

Just because Windows works doesn't mean anything.
Linux is more sensitive to hardware problems, for example it may refuse to work on a technically efficient but overclocked computer.
Let me tell you a story.
A long time ago I worked in a computer repair shop. One client regularly brought his computer. Windows kept crashing and the disk was full of garbage. After wiping the disk and reinstalling the system, everything worked fine. I've done hundreds of tests and found nothing. The computer was returned to the client and after some time it was in the same condition as before. Until one day I noticed that the processor temperature was a little higher than it should be. Just a few degrees higher, but I decided to replace the processor. From that moment on, I never saw that computer again. The explanation is simple, a hot processor sometimes performed incorrect operations and wrote incorrect results to the disk. The errors kept increasing and after some time an avalanche started...
Why am I talking about this?
Because not everything can be checked and not everything can be repaired.
If your installation media is not damaged, there is no point in investigating the cause of your computer not working.
CNC is not a toy, it is a machine that can cause damages and injure the operator.
Everything must be checked like on airplanes, and if something is suspicious, it must be removed.

Download a different installation image, use a different pendrive. If the problem persists, leave this computer alone.
