I'm trying to write Fedora ISO to flash memory card using both Fedora Media Writer and Rufus but during booting up the computer I got errors like shown in the following screen shot:

image description

I have run the memory test for two passes and there is no any errors found. My computer is Toshiba Satellite L850 running Windows10 and I run the memory card from USB 3G modem that includes a memory card slot.

Additionally, sometimes the error messages is running infinitely on the screen quickly. Also, I have checked the downloaded ISO file integrity.

You should try these if you can:

writing the image to a different medium and try booting from that. (is it the image or the card?)
using something other than the usb 3G modem to boot off the memory card. (is it the modem?)
try writing the iso using dd. (is it either of the media writing tools you are using?)

example:

dd if=/path/to/iso of=/device/name/of/media/card bs=2M conv=notrunc

NOTE: dd is a destructive command and can potentially cause catastrophic data loss. be sure to point the of= part at your memory card and not your primary boot drive!!!

I could not able to use dd like the way that you regarded because I'm already on Windows. However, I will try to use the image on a friend's computer, then I will purchase new USB flash memory and trying using it.

Well, I have used new USB flash memory stick and it works fine.
