Just an FYI I did checksum the iso to the hash given and did a verification from iso to cd. Both matched.

You might want to do a memtest86. When its decompressing those binaries into RAM, if it encounters CRC errors because of hardware faults, it'll sometimes produce messages like that.

I have already downloaded 3 times from 3 different machines with different DIA's. I get the same issue every time. I have also done a memtest86 with 5 passes all passed.
