Can't install OSX on new SSD drive

To speed up my old MacBook Pro, I replaced my spinning disk with a new SSD (Kingston 120GB V3000, Sata3) and new memory (8Gig).

After I replaced the hardware, I tried installing Yosemite via a bootable USB, but I can't seem go get it working.

The installer either restates mid way through or it fails to various reasons. I've bin trying with various methods and I still can't get it to work, and it's frustrating because I can't find anyone else who had the same problem.

Hoping for a solution soon... Please let me know if you need more information

Cheers !
