A
cyclic redundancy check (CRC) is a non-secure
hash function designed to detect accidental changes to raw computer data, and commonly used in digital
networks and storage devices such as
hard disk drives. A CRC-enabled device calculates a short, fixed-length binary sequence, known as the
CRC code or just
CRC, for each block of data and sends or stores them both together. When a block is read or received the device repeats the calculation; if the new CRC does not match (or in some cases, cancel out) the one calculated earlier then the block contains a
data error and the device may take corrective action such as rereading or requesting the block be sent again.

CRCs are so called as the
check (data verification) code is a
redundancy (it adds zero information) and
cyclic (the message data circulates in the check code during calculation).[
citation needed] The term CRC may refer to the check code or to the
function that calculates it, which accepts data streams of any length as input but always outputs a fixed-length code. CRCs are popular because they are simple to implement in binary
hardware, are easy to analyse mathematically, and are particularly good at detecting common errors caused by
noise in transmission channels. The CRC was invented by
W. Wesley Peterson, and published in his 1961 paper.

IEEE-recommended 32-bit CRC, used in
Ethernet and elsewhere, appeared at a telecommunications conference in 1975.
[3] thats why you are having problems, most like likely it's a hardware issue such as hard drive, or an item you have on your computer. you can further research this issue and maybe it will help you resolve your problem. hope this helps
