Ok, then it's almost certainly not a hardware failure, unless it is
something big like the Pentium bug, which generated about 999.875 jokes
about it a decade ago... (and one more two seconds ago)
All the failures I described are either manufacturing problems or wear-off
problems, and not systematic design problems. *some* manufacturing
problems happen on a chain of computers, especially if bought all at once
from one source, but it's very rare.
Note that if you are installing an OS using a disk mirroring system, then
a problem in RAM in the master computer can cause file corruption upon OS
installation which is then propagated exactly to all computers. Been
there, done that (but on a much smaller scale).
