First of all, make sure you make your USB pendrive by using this method,
http://docs.kali.org/installation/kali-linux-live-usb-install. Other methods my
not work properly.
Or, you may consider to format the pendrive in FAT32 before making it Kali.

Hello Samiux from the very beginning I followed those steps I still had the
problem of not installing Kali Linux amd 64.
I only followed the directions under "Preparing for the USB copy" and "Kali
Linux Live USB Install Procedure"
I will tell you exactly what I did
first I downloaded my Kali Linux amd 64 from my 30GB USB from my desktop windows
vista 32 bit Operating System then I got Win32 Disk Imager and I click the
option "write" then I transfer that to my Laptop which unlike my desktop this is
a Linux based Operating System 64 bit this is where I will install Kali Linux
amd 64 bit.Sadly I was not successful.
And as MrBlackhat said: "it runs live mode perfect."
To look at the results of the commands "dmesg" "lsmod" and "lspci" please
refer to the first post I made.
And yes Samiux I am using FAT32

Download the Kali Linux iso to the hard drive of your computer. If you are
using Windows system, you can follow the procedure of installing Kali to the USB
driver at http://docs.kali.org/installation/kali-linux-live-usb-install. Follow
the "Imaging Kali on a Windows Machine" to make a USB bootable Kali Linux which
can be used for installation and live operation.
Make sure your USB pendrive is 4GB in size or larger.

sorry that I am banned from Kali Linux forum and channel for the reason at
http://samiux.blogspot.com/2013/03/what-is-going-on-for-kali-linux.html
Therefore, I will not use Kali Linux any more.

Samiux from the very get go even before I reported this bug,I had already
followed those directions: "Kali Linux Live USB Install Procedure" "Preparing
for the USB copy"
But anyway I think the best thing to do is to burn a DVD-R with an iso file
and not use a USB.
