Bad ram can really play tricks with you.
A friend of mine couldn't for example play the game VietCong because the characters kept falling through the terrain. After running a memorydiagnostic tool we knew that one of the memorysticks were defect, replaced it and voila(or Viola as someone in this forum said), solid ground in Vietcong. :)
The bad ram also caused 75% of all installers to fail with an error stating that the cabs were corrupt.
So, I really recommend running a memorydiagnostic tool if your system behaves weird.
I can try to find the one we used, if you like.
