Q: OSX could not be installed on your computer (undefined error: 0). HD ok on disk utility

I Experienced a flashing folde icon on start up. Sometimes it would boot to OSX sometimes it wouldn't.

 

i Created a Yosemite bootable install USB. Booted to that, checked HD with disk utility, all ok, and tried to reinstall. See error in title.

 

Erased internal HD. still getting the same error.
