HI Jerry,
I'd just check that the motherboard bios doesn't need updating. You could also try taking all but one stick of RAM out and see if the install completes.. If it does then you may have some bad RAM.
To check if the disk is a bad copy or not you'll need to try it on a different machine, perhaps a friend could help?
As to who would replace it, have you contacted Newegg and asked if they'll replace it?
