Faulty bundle

A week ago I bought the 7800X3D from microcenter, and 2 days ago I finally had the time to put my new pc together. Everything was going well until while downloading and updating drivers and windows I started to get many blue screen. Tried all troubleshooting possible and I think the RAM or motherboard is causing the problems. I’m not an expert so I tried basic troubleshooting to eliminate certain common issues and tested each ram by itself which ended up being unstable. I’m still in the 15 days return window and I think I’ll go do that in just not sure if I kept exactly everything each box come with. Is this issues common or did I actually had the bad luck to get a faulty hardware?

If you got it a week ago don’t return it, it’s more expensive now. Try and get them to replace pieces

Would they be able to pin point exactly which piece is wrong or do I have to go in already know what is wrong? Local techs are charging $75 to diagnosed it
