I'd put money on old installers or your clock being set wrong on the Mac.

For the ram, if you did a CPU upgrade, if the processor isn't sitting correctly ram slots stop working.

Did you download the new installers from the App Store or the web?

Installers found on random sites on the "web" are almost universally malware.
Sites like TidBITS will link back to legit installers on Apple's site.

Installers all came from AAPL's latest links. What I found was, partly, that the installer package that's supposed to end up in the Applications folder prior to install, wasn't always showing up there, so I had to open the dmg and move the installer to the App folder manually. Then, when running updates from the App Store after the basic OS installed, the entire installation would somehow get borked by the updaters. Totally exasperating.

Install the macOS installer
Double-click the downloaded file to open a window showing its contents. Then double-click the file within, named InstallOS.pkg.
Follow the onscreen instructions, which will guide you through the steps necessary to install.
Begin installation
After installation of the installer is complete, open the Applications folder on your Mac, then double-click the file named Install macOS Sierra.

I thought about a USB installer, and have made them thru Mavs, but since the goal was to get a bootable USB Sierra drive, in my mind it was almost like making a jumbo bootable USB installer as it was. Slapping Mavs on the USB drive to start with, was the easy part... getting it updated to Sierra was an American Horror Story IRL.
