What is causing this problem??

I get corrupted files from dloading and sometimes images mess up etc. Thought it was my ram but just replaced it, very annoying.

when was the last time you checked your harddrive for fragmentation?

Well just formatted... backstory

Built new computer x2 3800 + Asus A8N Sli Deluxe 2 gigs of value ram.... Before the corruption was really bad but thought it was the ram since the ram wouldent run dual channel and wouldent OC... So got my new ram in yesterday and boom works can OC no corruption at first.... now dloading files they are corrupting and pictures/webpage etc... its not all the time just like 10% of the time.

Which files?

BSODs?

Is it technically corruption, or could you describe it as visual artifacts or some other phenomena/ are the files permanently damaged?

Overclocking?
