Windows 10: Installing Windows 10 blank blue screen

My Dell XPS 8930 locked up the other day and following a hard boot, it would not load Windows, even Safe mode. I made a Media Tool and tried that but it wouldn't even access it. So today I bought a new hard drive and new copy of the Windows 10 OS on a flash drive. I followed various instructions I found here and on the web to try and get it to start loading, but failed every time. All bios diagnostics, inc. the 3 hour one, came back fine. In the BIOS boot section I've tried all combinations of: Secure Boot enabled/disabled; Legacy Option ROM, enabled/disabled; Attempt Legacy Boot enabled/disabled. In Boot Options, under the Legacy Option I've tried "USB Storage Drive" and under UEFI Options "USB1 - UEFI OS. In every instance it will give me the screen with the 4 blue window panes and circling dots; then asks me to select 32 bit or 64 bit system (tried both) and then goes to a blank blue screen with my mouse. I have done this with both the new Windows 10 flash drive and the Media Tool. I've waited over an hour on that blue screen just to make sure it wasn't a slow load. Any ideas would be helpful
