Remove all USB devices that are not essential. Keyboard is essential, mouse 
somewhat. 

After you select Installation and press Enter, press ESC key to get verbose 
boot. Look for last messages before it stops and post them here. 

It is not sure that the logged message "Activating USB device..." is last 
performed action. Some driver that crash system may not leave any message in 
the log, but it can be visible on boot screen.
