Hi,
I have have tried to install bitcoin core a few times over the last few days.

Every time I start the process I get through the sync part, which does not show as progress.

When the progress begins to be displayed, usually around the 5% progress I get the following from the debug log;

2024-03-16T01:47:08Z *** Corrupt block found indicating potential hardware failure; shutting down
2024-03-16T01:47:08Z Error: A fatal internal error occurred, see debug.log for details

Any help would be much appreciated.
