Installation files are frequently corrupted, and movies won't play.
ISSUE 1:
I've been having consistent problems since I bought this PC with many things, one of the major ones being that when I try to install downloaded files, it usually fails due to them being corrupt, the same issue often happens when installing from a disk too, which brings me to believe that there could be a problem when the system tries to write files to my HDD, I get a lot of errors showing problems with various things from extractions to corrupt files. I get the issues with about 75% of games I install and about 25% of programs that I install.
Before you suggest the issue is with RAM, I can guarantee that it isn't, because the system came with faulty RAM that was detected by MemTest and it blue screened all of the time because of it, but this has been sorted now, and I've added a checklist to clear up some of the things that you may intent to ask me to do.
Various searches around the web show that the issue could be related to many different things, so I really don't know where to start with this issue.
ISSUE 2:
This issue is rather bizarre, but I believe it's completely unrelated to the first, whenever I attempt to play any DVD in Windows Media Player (yes they're legal copies), I get the following error:
The problem is definitely not with the optical drive because I have no issue when using VLC Media Player, so despite this not being as urgent as the previous issue, it would still be nice to get it sorted. However, I did read something about the possibility of the monitor not being HDCP compliant, but I didn't quite understand it and my monitor is from the early 2000's so it's difficult to find information on it.
Checklist:
- Run MemTest86+ (Passed x8)
- Run Whole Computer Scan (Passed)
- Run System File Checker ("Windows Resource Protection found some corrupt files but was unable to fix some of them." See CBS.log)
- Run ChkDsk (Passed)
- Update Drivers (Up To Date)
