What MAcOS version are you trying to install, and what model hardware do you have? The MacOS may not be compatible with the hardware. For example, Mojave won't install on a 2011 iMac. I know, I have one.

I have also had that message and usually means there is a older hardware compatibility issue. My neighbor has an older 2011 iMac and Mojave will not install on the machine.
