Can't boot kali linux from usb on MSI GE62 Apache Pro 6QF

I'm trying to boot kali linux from a usb on my laptop and every time i try to boot from the usb the OS crashes and i have to restart my laptop. I've tried the usb on multiple other laptops and the usb worked perfectly, so i know it's not an issue with the usb. The errors displayed are also inconsistent, some times it says CPU stall or ae_not_found, sometimes it freezes on a black screen and i've gotten to the login screen once and it froze. I have updated every driver on my laptop. Any suggestions as to what is causing the issue.
 


kali with windows. my hard drive is low on space and a usb is a cheap and quick.
