Since both Windows and Linux do not work on the machines , even though
new, I suspect a hardware problem.

I'd start with a RAM test.

I once bought some super-cheap Chinese RAM and one stick was flaky right
from the start.


They did give me a refund even though I told them for the $2 a stick I
paid, not to bother.
