Ok so I have built a new PC with the following hardware:

Motherboard: M4A88TD-V EVO/USB3

Graphics card: Sapphire Radeon HD 5770

Processor: AMD Phenom II X4 925 Deneb 2.8GHz 4 x 512KB L2 Cache 6MB L3 Cache Socket AM3 95W Quad-Core Processor HDX925WFGIBOX

Memory: A-DATA Gaming Series 4GB (2 x 2GB) 240-Pin DDR3 SDRAM DDR3 1600 (PC3 12800) Desktop Memory Model AX3U1600GB2G9-2G

Hard Drive: SAMSUNG Spinpoint F3 HD502HJ 500GB 7200 RPM 16MB Cache SATA 3.0Gb/s 3.5" Internal Hard Drive

My operating system is Windows 7 64-bit home

Everything seems to be running just fine and ive had no issues OTHER than the fact that anytime i try to install a game(any game) on my PC there are errors, such as, saying that there is corruption or it cant find or read a certain file and that maybe the disks are damage. Well the disks are fine. I thought maybe my old disk drive was screwy and got a brand new HP DVD disk drive...did nothing to help the issue. I have the newest drivers for my video card as well. I cannot for the life of me figure this out! I was thinking possibly a RAM issue? im not sure. Ive been working on this for 2 days straight to no avail so any help at all would be greatly appreciated!

I assume you are sure that your RAM is the source of the problem.

Actually if you want really good RAMs, try to get one of this brands :
Corsair, Crucial, Patriot, Mushkin, Kingston or G.Skill
..................................................................................
A-Data, OCZ, others....well...not on my shopping list..

Check the manufacturers web site at

and click on the "memory support list" tab. There you will find compatable memory for your board.

It won't handle high end games that's for sure. And for $800 you would be better off just...
