Dells and HP machines are my preference. Had one HP who's internal sound card gave me issues, but never installation issues.
I had a DELL XE give me stability issues under Ubuntu. It's been fine with Centos.

I find that used Dells work every time without issues... so far. You often have to install using legacy mode instead of UEFI.

Is it CentOS7? I've found that a problem that I had with CentOS 7.6 went away by using CentOS 7.5 (it may have been 7.5 drop down to 7.4 - everything merges into the past). Try with an older sub version of the installer. It will still update to the latest once you have installed it. I created my installer on USB by downloading the .iso file and then doing this dd if=CentOS-7-x86_64-Minimal-1708.iso of=/dev/sdX where X is the USB drive. This has worked for me so far.

Unfortunately Cent OS minimal ISO and full 64-bit wont install. I keep getting something to do with failed to claim resource 0, then eventually goes to a emergency mode shell. I thought it maybe BIOS so I've tried enabling/disabling AHCPI. Setting SATA to IDE and back. Tried setting enable/disable plug n play OS etc... all in different combinations but no luck. These machines don't have any other hardware than the default on-board sound, ethernet, usb etc... no PCI or PCIx cards. Looks like these machines are no good for RD. Bummer.
