I am aware that CRC errors can stem from bad/corrupted data, srcatched discs and improperly downloaded files. Here's the thing though, I've already confirmed several files and discs that I have that are in good working condition by using it on several other PCs. No problems with extraction and installation.
However, when I use the same files and discs on my PC, there's always some kind of error, usually a CRC error that hinders installation of a program or game. My DVD drive is definitely not the problem since I transfered it to a different PC and it worked fine. Same w/ some of the downloaded files I got. Works elsewhere except on my PC. What in the world is causing this?
If it were a hardware problem, which piece of hardware should I consider troubleshooting or replacing? I've already gone through the paces of trying to look for a software problem, but there doesn't seem to be a problem w/ my software.

By the way, I have managed to install other programs w/o a hitch so could that rule out my SATA HD? I've also ruled out the cable since I've tried the same cable elsewhere. I'm thinking MoBo or RAM has a problem.

could be a lot of things... RAM, cables, DMA controller, motherboard. I'd guess you wouldn't be able to successfully save downloads 100% of the time. If you're running into different CRC errors (same file, different place), check your RAM.
Also check for viruses or other running programs. It's possible to intercept stuff in memory and corrupt it.

I think that it may be caused by your hard drive or memory module(s) since you state the downloaded files get into the same problem (assuming you download them in the CRC troubled PC). Try by changing the compact disc devices and attempt to install something, and if it keeps issuing then try changing the memory module(s). Also, perform a physical and logical disk integrity check by the operating system, and if the problem still appears, a complete hardware test set should be accomplished, but that would be kind of last resort. Good luck.

If you ruled out that DVD drive, how about the cable even the motherboard itself (the IDE subsystem part)

your hard disk might have scratches.
