actionparsnip proposed the following answer:
Doesn't matter where you got the CD or the ISO, you should check it to make sure the ISO hasnt been garbaged in transit and that the burn has succeeded properly. Operating system install mediums are hugely sensitive to erroneos data and a bad install CD will yield a bad install experience.
The RAM test is a good thing to do just so that we know it is ok and is quite quick.
The system install has not worked so you must test everything you can to see if anything is fundamentally wrong. It is not sufficient to be complacemnt with the system if the install is not smooth.
If the CD and memory check out ok you can start looking at boot options and disabling hardware in the BIOS until you get an install.
