White screen when installing OSX

install

Solution 1:

I would take the new drive to another Mac and run the installer there.

You'll know soon what the weak link is with perhaps an inexpensive USB to SATA adapter.

Assuming you have the resources for that, I'd probably have that Machine download Sierra and make a bootable USB installer and just use Sierra to wipe and reinstall the OS on your daughter's Mac (or her hard drive connected to the other Mac).
