CRC errors are one of the most common computer errors that you will ever discover. CRC is quite simply Cyclic Redundancy Check, this is a process used to ensure that the files you download from the internet are complete and will work properly.
If CRC errors don’ match between the source and downloaded file then there are problems with the transmission process.
Understanding the Causes of CRC Errors
There are actually lots of different reasons why a computer user will experience CRC errors. If you do notice these errors then you will know just how frustrating they can be.
The problem could be caused by corrupt source files, problems with the transmission process, or computer problems at either end.
Correcting CRC Errors
If you experience this problem when downloading files from the internet then it suggests that there is a problem with your internet connection. Something is causing the files to become corrupted before you can open them.
CRC errors are more likely to happen during times of heavy traffic because data collisions are much more likely.
The problem can also be caused by using the wrong protocol to send certain types of files with.
Disks
The problem can also be caused when you are sharing files on using disks and other forms of removable media. If the source file works ok then there is probably a problem with the actual disk or USB drive.
CD’s are also susceptible to these problems, this could be because the disk is scratched or damaged in another way.
[...] CRC errors can also sometimes be caused by removable media, in which case this suggests that there are some problems with the disk or source file.
