so im having cyclic redundancy check when using µtorrent, and the problem is when googling this there is people who says its the hard-drive hitting the sack permanently, a logical error with the hard-drive or the RAM is going to sleep with the fishes.
and my question is how do i check each these possible reasons, i cant find a single listed routine check for this.
please help me.
 

run hd tune first. under hd tune find out the maker of the hard drive. in hd tune run smart test. outside of hd tune download the hard drive vendor fitness test program. also check with the hd vendor if your drive is under warranty or out. on your pc download cpu-z and read your ram spd info and see if the ram speed is set right. you can also run memtest overnight to see if it a bad stick of ram..most crc erros is the hard drive on it way out.
