so i have an issue on my mac pro 2008, i accidentally reformat my desktop because of very laggy performance, now im trying to reinstalled my OS X using recovery mode but after signing in my apple i.d there is an error that cannot verrify my email adrress, so i buy a new SSHD to install fresh OS X but i have the same issue. now i download a el capitan OS X on the internet to make a bootable USB, but while installing there is an error saying the "corrupted files" and i cant access the boot manager pressing "OPTION" key after the chime

please i need help to recover my desktop
 
If ecovery partiton won’t work, and you can’t install OSX on an external USB 3.0 HDD by another Mac, burn an OS installation disc usually can make your life easier.

For boot manager, which GPU you are running now? What do you mean “not working”, black screen or white screen?
