I have a problem with my computer that affects probably 85% of my downloads. Anytime I try and download something it says that the file is corrupt or there is some sort of CRC error once I try and run it or install it. This can happen by just simply downloading a application or when I try and update an old application on the computer, such as Party Poker. I can't update my BIOS drivers b/c of this problem or any of the driver for video/sound card etc. Also for games such as MMOs that have large patches the computer will crash to a blue screen several times while downloading the patches. This also happens with limewire which I have used for music. While downloading the music it says that thje file is corrupted and when the d/l is complete there are many skips within the songs. These types of things keep happening. Now I am sometimes able to download just fine, at first I was able to download just fine, thats how I got things such as LimeWire and Party Poker in the first place. I have reformatted once and the same problem persist. My roommates all have a fine connection when we are on the same router. My other laptop computer downloads just fine through the same wire when I change systems. What seems to be the problem? What information do you need from me to help? Thanks alot.
