Q: Mac G5, Prohibitory Symbol on Startup!

Hi, I've an old G5 desktop installed 10.4 Tiger. I've prohibitory symbol on startup. I tried all the startup methods but couldn't fix the problem. I found a retail tiger OS and burned to DVD. I'm trying to start the mac with tiger installation DVD but there is another problem with it. The computer is working until boot device list [with hold option button] I choice go with installation dvd, Apple logo is coming to screen than screen is going to black after few seconds. I see the keyboard and mouse are still working but no function [for ex. I can't remove the DVD with command+e button]

 

I tried to start with USB drive but I think the computers can not boot from usb. I prepared a SSD installation disk and connected to hard drive socket B but the computer doesn't see it in boot option.

 

Are there any known solution for that?

 

Thanks.
