Files corrupting when downloading them from INet.


Question

I?ve got a problem here and it?s driving me crazy!

In the past week, I replaced my old MSI K8 NEO Platinum board, AMD 64 bit 3000+ processor and ATI Radeon 9800 Pro with a Gigabyte K8 Triton NForce 4 board, AMD 3200+ 64 bit processor, and a GEForce 6800 GS card. Ever since I added these components in my system, everytime I download a file and attempt to install it, the package is telling me it?s corrupted. It happens about 9 times out of 10 and it seems to be happening through FTP, NNTP, and from the Web. At first, I thought it was my Cable line, but I?m able to download files fine and run them on my server, and/or copy them over the my PC and run them. I also reinstalled Windows about 5 times this weekend (one odd thing is I have a school version of XP (Pre SP1) that does not recognize my entire 250 GB SATA drive, only 130 GB of it.

So, couple of questions/comments:

1. Could this be my power supply? Since I added more draining products to my 430W, could that be causing it? I currently have the new components above, with 2.5 GB total (3-512 sticks, 1-1GB stick) PC 2700 memory, RealTek on board sound, Avermedia M150 TV Tuner card, 2 SATA drives (160GB, 250 GB), 2 IDE drives (40 GB, 200 GB), NEC 8X DVD burner, 3 system fans, 1 hard drive fan, and processor stock fan.

2. The next thing that?s been happening a lot is these ?Windows has recovered from a serious system error? message. Sometimes, it?s accompanied by a blue screen afterwards, stating ?DRIVER_IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL.? Upon Googling that term, I found many people saying to repair Windows at bootup by running CHKDSK and FIXBOOT. That seemed to fix the ?Serious System Error? message, but has not fixed the corrupter downloads.

3. Finally, I?m wondering if the NIC is bad. When I installed the drivers, I installed the Disk that came with the mobo, then updated the NForce drivers by downloading the package from NVidia?s web site. I have a spare NIC I can try.

Anyway, it?s not too serious as I?m expecting a ABIT mobo from Newegg in a couple of days, so I was just wondering if anyone else has experienced this, or could it be the Power Supply?
