I'll be very surprised if it isn't the hardware. :-) Just one thing you should be aware of: bad hardware at install time can lead to a corrupt installation. I recently installed 4.0-RELEASE on a box with 1 dud DIMM. After replacing the DIMM, certain programs still dumped core reproducibly. I had to re-install those binaries. Of course, I figured why waste time saving time and re-installed. Probably not the worst of ideas. :-) Something to beware of. Ciao, Sheldon.
