Hi there, I have recently pieced together a new computer, and whilst happy with its performance, i am constantly harassed by some strange problems regarding to file corruption.
System Info
XP Pro Service Pack 2
Opty 165 @ 2.4 (300*8) idle 32 load 48
2x1GB Kingston Value (1T 3/3/3/8)
Asus A8N32-SLI
All drivers up to date
Hard drive...I had a Maxtor Diamon 9 120GB and a Maxtor 10 120GB, both SATA-150 and 8mb cache (not entirely sure tho) arranged into a RAID 0 on SATA port 1 and 2, block size 32k.
Software side, i have RM Clock and Speed Fan to dynamically alter my core clock and fan speed.
Here is the problem, whenever i download something from the internet, it is sometimes corrupted, and some times, pictures on the internet are displayed with stripes of strange colors that should never have been there. But strangely, sometimes it works just fine, even for a 200+mb file, it works without producing a single problem, but even a 2mb video codec installer can be corrupted.
Oddly, i had recently downloaded Half Life 2 and Lost Coast from STEAM for around 5 GB, and while downloading, an accidental power failure and both still runs perfectly fine.
This problem appears to be selective, and the files i find faulty are perfectly fine when downloaded on other computers. What can be causing my problem?
Thanks in advance
Declaration: A fellow forum member reminded me that my post sounds as if i am illegally downlading my games. A big thanks to him, and i would like to say that i own my steam license which was bundled with my ATI 9800XT when i bought it 2 years ago
