Kali linux won't boot from usb

Klean8hs

hello everyone.
As the title says, i created a bootable usb with Kali Linux 2017.1 and I can't get it to boot. i tried everything, i searched every forum out there and still i can't boot from usb.

yes my flash drive is in perfect condition, so is the iso. also i formatted and reinstalled the iso both with rufus and disk imager about 4 times.
on my desktop, it works like a charm.

I tried enabling csm, pxe, disabling secure boot, fast boot etc etc.
I even updated the BIOS (and now the keyboard doesn't light up 😄 )

before i enable persistence, it would boot normally but it would freeze.

no matter how i choose to boot from usb (either UEFI or norrmal) it will either get a ton of SQUASHFS errors and stay on "see 'systemct1 status accounts-daemon.service' for details,

or

it will get stuck on "A start job is running for live-config contains the components that configure a life system during boot process (late userspace)

pls help
