I wasn't exactly thinking it was 'faulty' considering that it was, as I outlined above, still booting on other computers

Shout outs to everyone who took the time to try and help me here. It's much appreciated. Teedee's cracked it though. I tried installing from a different USB and it worked. So, thank you so much for that. I've now been able to rid myself of the steaming pile of operating system shit that is Microwatt OS 8.

I've tried a range of different distros, including linux lite, kubuntu, peppermint, and lxle.
I've used Unetbootin, Live USB, and Universal USB Installer to load the ISOs onto the USB. Also, I've checked the ISOs on another computer, and they all boot up fine.
I'm running an emachines 355-n571gs5ikk.

I tried your recommendations, but, unfortunately, I'm still getting the same result.
Initially, I had been trying to get the computer to boot from the USB port I used to install microwatt

AC power.
It's weird. The manufacturer logo comes up, the screen then goes black and has a static cursor, it quickly flashes green, then just hangs on a black screen with a flashing cursor. It's as if it's starting to boot from the USB and then something disables it.

The BIOS settings are exactly the same as they were when I installed microwatt OS. The USB drive is the first in the order. I know the ISO is working on the USB, as I have tried it on another computer.
I know that I can't boot from USB because it's randomly stopped working. It was working right up until I installed microwatt.

Installed microwatt 8 from USB. now I can't boot from USB, even though I haven't changed any BIOS settings. It's like the distro has messed with something somewhere. Anyone know how to rectify this?
