CRC errors from hog files.

I recently purchased Star Trek Online via Steam. From day 1 I have had nothing but CRC errors from hog files when the game tries to load graphics files in relation to ships & uniforms. The game has become totally unplayable and crashes to desktop just out of the blue. I have filed and reported all the errors. I have downloaded the game from both Steam & Cryptic/Atari.
My Laptop spec is http://www.toshibadirect.com/td/b2c/laptop-model.jsp?family=Satellite&model=A500
it has I3 processor, 8GB DDR3, Nviidia Geforce GT 330m & Seagate Momentus XT 500GB hybrid drive, Windows 7 x64 professional, AVG Internet Security 2011.
I hasten to add that I have no problems with any other game or software, all load and run correctly.
I have tried 3 different install locations & still get crc errors. I have had to cancel my account because of these crashes and perusing the web found that many other people have the same problem with CRC errors in relation to hog files.
Just thought I'd let you know the problem and maybe its an easy fix.

P.S. I've filed a ticket, but no replies..

    While I have never had a crc error since playing in the beta, repeated crc usualy indication of other problems

    1. weak wireless connections
    2. weak or failing cpu (since sto pushes the cpu more than other games)
    3. failing or weak harddrives
    4. failing or weak power supply (also do to sto pushing cpu and graphic card more than other games)
    5. anti-virus software like panda 2011 that corrupt the files on download
    6. if using win7 or vista installing the game in the program files directory beause of windows new security feature for file in that directory.
