Is my harddrive likely to cause CRC errors in rar + other files?

Sometimes when I extract large files from a multi file rar archive I get CRC errors. Thing is if I retry a couple of times the CRC error goes away and it seems to work fine. Similar thing when trying to install from the EVE online installer, and I downloaded the damn thing three times for different places. Is this likely to be related to my harddrive(s) (RAID0 volume) or something else? But what's the best way to scan for hd errors? chkdsk doesn't seem to find any problems.

(Hmm.. just thinking about it now, guess it might be worth checking my memory... will do that, but the above question still stands too.)
 
Yeah, doh, looks like it's not the drive but memory. memtest finds a hell of a lot of errors pretty fast... oh well. /me heads over to the memory section.
