I've followed this guide and everything looks to be correct. I'm using this to restore an old Macbook Pro Unibody (2008) that was using Yosemite previously. When I go to restore the laptop, I get the option to install off the flashdrive and it starts up but after maybe 20-30 seconds the laptop shuts off. All diagnostics for the drive appear to be good. Any thoughts? What am I missing?

NOTE: I can get into recovery modeRecovery Mode with no issues. I've run diagnostics on the drive and there are no errors. I've also tried to restore from the internet (it connects, appears to download everything then goes right back into recovery modeRecovery Mode). I also erased the hard drive using the Disk Utility.

This is the guide I followed: How can I use Windows to create an OS X Yosemite USB flash drive installer from the disk image (.dmg) file downloaded from Apple?
