Basically, my hard drive died on me and I got a new one. When I go to install any programs or drivers I get various corruption errors. This only happens for things that need to be decompressed into temp folders before being installed.

At first I thought it was the new hard drive so I tried 2 other brand-new drives. I tried changing out the memory one stick at a time and removing any peripheral not neccessary. The only thing I have not replaced or removed are my motherboard, processor, hard drive, video card and power supply.

I have done a memtest on the memory and chkdsk on all the hard drives - no problems. I have checked all the cables. Nothing is overclocked.

I am completely out of ideas.
 
You could try the usual:

Is it a SATA drive? Try disabling NCQ (having it enabled will only slow performance and apparently causes corruption issues on nForce). If it's IDE, remove the Nvidia IDE drivers. Actually, if you have the IDE drivers installed at all, remove them anyway. They're pretty dreadful. Try different cables.
