    Hi,

    I have a brand new system:

    ASUS P7H57D-V EVO
    Core i7 860 @ 2.8Ghz
    4Gb Corsair ram running @ 1600Mhz
    80Gb Intel SSD drive

    I have been stuck with one problem for few days now...

    1. Windows 7 installs without any problems
    2. Drivers install
    3. No errors/crashes. There are few entries in event log, but that's due to not having internet connection.

    4. Install wireless adapter from Belkin: http://en-us-support.belkin.com/ap [...] /297/p/266 it's a 4 series driver which is supported by Windows 7.

    5. Adapter installs fine, I go on the internet - streaming video and file downloads complete.
    6. I open up a file download - .ZIP, .exe etc and most of the time i get some sort of check sum error which means that the file is corrupted. Alternatively a setup process kicks in and I get an error half way through. The worst part is that this is what happens to windows updates. Some go through and some die horrible resulting in blue screens etc.

    Now if I download a file and copy it on a usb stick, than run it on my laptop the file works fine. This makes me doubt that the problem is in the wireless adapter.

    I ran tests on SSD drive and memory tests, everything passed with flying colours. I doubt it's RAM or the SSD because I have installed Unreal Tournament and AION from the CD - which means that nothing was downloaded. These games run fine for hours, that's why I don't think that the fault is in hard drive or ram....

    What can be a cause of this bizzare behaviour? How do I confirm the cause of the problem?

    Please help :x:
