I have offered everything I can think of. I am going to move your post to the general section so others can assist as well.

Boot with the Installation Media.

Run Setup

When you get to the screen that asks for language, press Shift + F10 (or the Applications/Context Menu key if your keyboard has it) to open a Command Prompt   Type the following commands:

diskpart   (you will likely get a UAC prompt for diskpart, answer, “Yes,” of course)

list disk

select disk 0   

clean or clean all     Purges the disk of all existing partitions

convert gpt     Initializes the disk as GPT required for booting on a UEFI motherboard.   If you get an error ignore it.  

exit    (to close diskpart)

exit    (to close Command Prompt

The install will now continue; answer any prompts appropriately. When you get to the screen asking on which disk you wish install Windows, activate the Next button. The Windows  installer will automatically partition and format the drive (using the boot type you previously specified in the convert command above if you needed to perform Step 4, otherwise it will figure things out as part of the install to an uninitialized drive based upon the hardware configuration you have).
