For the first part, sounds like the kernel is missing or can't load a particular driver to access some hardware. Were you able to boot your laptop to the live desktop using the boot CD? Second, did you properly burn the image to the disk? Issue like these can be contributed by a poorly burned image or a damaged image. 

What site did you use to download linuxmint 18 64bit and what method was used to burn the image?
