I can't install any OS MacBook Pro

Hello everyone, I have a MacBook Pro 13¨ Early 2011.

One day got freeze and I have to shut it down with the power button, after that the OS never start again.

I cleaned the PRAM, erase the disk with the disk utilities, and I cannot install neither the High Sierra with a usb stick and recovery mode or the OS Lion with the internet recovery (it never finish I left it for 72 hs running and nothing) at the same time Im able to Install this lion OS but into a USB stick, thats why im confused.

I try a hardware test but also never finish.

Its really driving me crazy. I tried everything. I hope someone can give a hint.

Thanks a lot.

MacBook Pro, Mac OS X (10.7.5), Lion

Thanks for answering, i can boot from USB without problems. I run the disk utility repair shows no issues. Also as an addition in recovery mode I tried to restore from the USB bootable as source but also is not possible. Thanks!

The most reliable way to re-Install is from BOOTing from the USB stick. If you can not complete that, you likely have a hardware problem. An increasingly common problem is a bad internal drive cable.

When you boot from the USB-stick, you should be able to choose Disk Utility, and run Repair Disk.

What is the results of that?
