I'd make installation as simple as possible, and self-contained, i.e. no
networking over USB in case the drivers have problems under heavy
workload;  some are known to.  Ditch NOOBS, if you're using that, and go
straight for Raspbian Jessie.

Following the installation instructions at

(They're flawed, I think, in that the check of the card's contents might
use buffered blocks in memory rather than access the card.  Best to skip
the check, go straight to the "sync", eject the card, re-insert, then do
the check.)

Third time's a charm!

Cheers, Ralph.
