Here's a weird one for you guys.
I boot my new machine (build is described down below), install Windows 7 Home Premium 64 bit, install the LAN driver from the mobo CD and start trying to install the latest drivers from the mobo website. Nearly every file I download is corrupted. Aside from the fact that they won't extract/install I determine this two ways. One, the md5 hash does not match one calculated for the same file downloaded from the same site on a different machine. Two, if I download the same file again, I get a different md5 hash.
I have similar issues with files downloaded from a variety of websites (not just Asrock). Additionally, if I ignore the drivers and try to update Windows, I cannot get all of the updates do install. As these are downloaded off the internet, I assume the issue is related.
Build config is:
i3-3240
Asrock H77 Pro4-M
G.Skill DDR3 1600 MHz RAM, 8 GB
Samsung 840 EVO, 120 GB SSD
WD Green WD20EZRX HDD, 2TB
Antec Earthwatts EA-380D PSU
Asus Blu-ray optical drive
I have tried the following to correct the problem:
1) Installed USB/ethernet adapter instead of mobo integrated LAN, same issues.
2) Checked RAM via memtest86 (18+ hrs, no errors)
3) Replaced RAM, same issues
4) Ran CHKDSK on both hard drives, no errors.
5) Did clean Installs of Windows onto both drives, same issues on both.
6) Replaced CPU / mobo, same issues.
7) Reset TCP/IP, same issues.
8) Reset Fios router and verified proper MTU size, same issues.
I'm out of options to try here. I could have Verizon give me a new router but I cant figure why it would only affect the new build and not my other machine.
I'm hoping I just missed something obvious but if not I am open to any and all (crazy) ideas about what else I might need to try. Help!
