Hi folks,
My problem is strange. I have read other CRC Failed topics here but all seem to have been solved some way that mine cannot be. Every decent file I download (I tested with a 100MB file from Nvidia download page) gets to my computer corrupt when I try to launch it. Oh and I downloaded the same file from a different computer in the house on the same network, put it on a USB thumb drive and loaded it onto problematic computer, voila no corruption, so it can't be something to do with ISP) And when I download RARs or other archives it says CRC failed. I tried downloading the same file about 6 tries, none of them the file got there uncorrupt, this was with an .exe installer for Nvidia drivers and it also happens with archives.
Executables that are installers tell me "The package is corrupt, please obtain another copy and verify its integrity." and Winrar/Stuffit/UnRarX on Mac tell me CRC failed. (Yes same problem on both Windows Vista and Mac OS X Leopard on the same machine)
I burned and ran Memtest86+ waited until it says ### Pass complete, no errors, press esc to restart ### did that about twice still no errors found.
What could be the issue? I ran a checkdisk /f on the Vista HD nothing seems to have changed.
Any ideas possible, willing to try anything at this point. Even went and reseated the RAM and even tried moving it to the other 2 slots available, nothing changed. I don't have any other RAM to experiment with to see if it really is that RAM but I'll consider trying 1 by 1 to see if only 1 is corrupt.
By the way, running no Anti-Virus of any kind.
THANKS!
Elad
