WoW Won't Install...

Every time I try to install WoW, I get this same error:

Patch data is bad. (source CRC mismatch: 1843987915/-1959647696) (BNUpdate::PTCApply)

I've asked on their technical forums, and they told me to copy the installation files from all 5 discs onto my computer to see if it's just bad discs, the installation still failed. I ran memtest86 for about 8 hours, defragmented (0% fragmentation) my installation disk, and still no dice.

I did a little research, and found this:

However, does this make any sense to anybody else? Also, how do I reduce my bus speed, and is it safe? Does anybody have any other solutions?

You can reduce the bus speed in the BIOS. Shouldn't be too hard to find. Yes, it should be safe.
