I had a similar issue. Mine was resolved by switching from a usb 3.0 device to a usb 2.0 device. I'm using a dell r710 so its older hardware but thats what resolved it for me.

Edit: Also make sure you are selecting the USB as the boot device.
 
I encountered these errors on a DELL PE R720xd booting via BIOS (not UEFI).
I used Rufus in Windows to create the USB image from the ISO file. It provides two modes - ISO Image mode and DD Image mode.
ISO Image mode (recommended) failed.
DD Image mode worked.

Try using Rufus with DD Image mode.
