I ran memtest, and i'm getting tons of errors. But can RAM affect installation? Why would it work if i ran it off a friend's dvd drive?

Yes it can, test each stick on it's own to find the culprit and try installing the game again.

ANY error on memtest is not good...

Yes, RAM can affect that and more.
