I have been having a long term problem trying to install games and large programs on my computer,

 

when its a game it stats the game is currpt (CRC) but it cant be, becase i have had the games/program installed before and some are org games / programs, i have tryed a number to things to try and fix it, many new operating system.... didnt work, i have looked all over this site for this problem and a fix but there are to many to read them all,

 

Is there a free answer to my problem?

 

If there is please let me know

I'm thinking perhaps some flaky memory, since you have (2)Two sticks of ram installed, try removing one of the sticks and see if the problem goes away or not.

 

If it does, then the stick you removed is most likely the bad stick of ram. Try removing the second stick of ram and replace it with the stick you had previously removed and see if the problem comes back, if so you've verified that it is indeed that stick of memory.

 

The other possibility could be a bad HD, or one that's going bad. Of course the only real way of testing this is to use the HD manufacturers diagnostic tools which usually will reformat and kill any data on the HD itself, so I only recommend this if you've already backed up your important data

I have tested the ram.

 

i did a full diagnostic a few hours ago, all is running normal, but some parts have low power

 

could i have a bad power pack?
