Computer crashing

[picolo18]

Hi everybody! I have recently bought a MSI i875p motherboard for my computer. Everything is running fine on it except for one thing. Whenever I try to install a program from a CD, sometimes it would skip files. For example when I tried to install windows XP, it would say that a certain file is missing. Then I click on "retry" and it would find the file and continue on with the installation. Also when I try to install a game like Rise of Nations, it would crash in the middle of the installation saying "bad data file". I took the same CD and tried it on my other computer and it ran fine. Well here are the hardwares that I have running in my computer: P4 2.6 Ghz 800fsb, corsair dual 400ddr memory, sound blaster audigy 2, PNY Verto FX5200 Ultra, Western Digital 120 Gb with 8 Mb cache. I was wondering what the problem is. Is the the problem with the memory? or is it the hard drive that is skipping files? Your opinions are greatly appreciated.

Sounds like your CDROM is the problem rather than your disc...
