Ok I'm tired of this. I don't want some Blue googler answering me anymore. Get me a programer and have him explain to me exactly how my RAM (which has absolutely no problems whatsoever) can cause an error in installing World of Warcraft onto my brand spanking new laptop.

This is a link to the thread in which all the problem's info has been given. Begin the explanations NOW!!!!

That WMO file in your screenshot (http://i299.photobucket.com/albums/mm305/TimberWolf5871/Meh/error.jpg) checks out on game build 11723 (3.3.3 on live) and you're getting a ton of mixed ones, like:


Q u o t e:
[2] err=0 text=SFileReadFile - World\Maps\Azeroth\Azeroth_28_46.adt - Data\common-2.MPQ
[1] err=0 text=ReadSectors/DecompressData failed


That's you trying to decompress data to figure out what's inside to feed it to the game. It's a big map file


Q u o t e:
The installer was unable to read the file "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Blizzard Entertainment\World of Warcraft Installer\Installer Tome 2.mpq". This error may be caused by problems with the media or drive at C:\ --for example, a scratched or dirty CD-ROM/DVD-ROM, hard drive corruption, or a networking problem while downloading the installer. (The data being read was "MPQs-1\Classic common\unconditional\Data#common-2.MPQ\World\Maps\Kalimdor\Kalimdor_34_26.adt", and the error code was 8.) If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support. (Converter::Load)


The installer is trying to read something you downloaded. ADT files are huge.


Q u o t e:
The installer was unable to read the file "C:\Users\Public\Documents\Blizzard Entertainmentm\World of Warcraft Installer\Movies.mpq". This error may be caused by problems with the media or drive at C:\ --for example, a scratched or dirty CD-ROM/DVD-ROM, hard drive corruption, or a networking problem while downloading the installer. (The data being read was "enUS\WOW_Wrathgate_800.avi", and the error code was 10.) If this problem persists, please contact Blizzard Technical Support. (Converter::Load)


Now you have a movie file. Those are large in comparison to the others.

Either you have a math error on your processor which makes it fail checksumming/decompressing on the install and the game reading or you're storing it on bad RAM while it's working on the file. Memory is cheaper and isn't tested as well as a processor, and a processor failing tends to crash a lot more than just a game. Failing power supply is also a possibility (you'd be amazed at what computers do with data when the signal isn't stable) but that tends to happen more while running a game rather than an install. WoW's installer isn't as CPU-intensive as StarCraft II's.

Computers aren't illiterate either so it can't misinterpret it unless your chipset drivers are bad. Those are really rare.
