This is related to one of my games, which is World of Warcraft, but I'm almost certainly sure it's caused by a hardware issue.
I recently built a new system, which is compromised of an ASUS P4P800 Deluxe, p4 3.06Ghz processor, and a geforce fx 5500 videocard. The videocard was already purchased, so the processor and the motherboard were my only new additions. Everything worked wonderfully the first time around. everything installed, everything worked great. Then one day, I got a texture.mpq error while running the game, and I got it more than once. So I went ahead and reinstalled the game. To my demise, the game kept coming back with a "game may be corrupted error", so I tried again, and again, and again. I must've reinstalled the game more than 10 times. I tired to install the patch anyway, and when the patch was ready to install, it told me that the patch is corrupted and I may need to download it again. This happens to me everytime. I've tried everything and more. I've tried using multiple copies of the game, I've tried downloading the patches from different mirrors. I've tried buying a new harddrive. I've tried buying a new NIC. I've tried everything and anything. Oddly enough, WoW seems to be the only game that does this. Counter Strike works fine, my music editing program works fine, windows works fine. I've even purchased a new copy of windows, thinking that the old CD was dmged or something. I've tried installing from different CD drives. I've tried using a single stick of ram on all 4 of my slots. I've tried doing it with both of them.
So I'm guessing, that my motherboard is having a problem. I just don't know what it is, and I find it very odd that only WoW seems to be having this problem. Any new help AT ALL would be amazing.
Thanks for reading.
