Do these errors occur when installing from CD or with downloaded files installing off harddrive? "Even happen when unzipping" indicates it may be happening on downloaded files as well as installing off CD so that eliminates the CD drive as the problem. Bad ram is the next possibility that springs to mind, or a faulty harddrive. Memtest86 is useful for testing your ram. It runs off a bootable floppy. Similarly you can get diagnostic tools from harddrive makers that also run of floppy and test drive integrity.
I used to have a signature but it disappeared and I just couldn't be bothered writing another so please feel free to ingore this.

Bad RAM. Run memtest85. That should pick it up pretty quickly.
