If you are going to slipstream SP3 to make a new CD (a good idea), you
need to copy the contents of the CD to some new folder on your HDD
first (there is no need to make a copy of the CD - you are going to
make a new CD), Then you do the slipstream process using the files on
your HDD, then you make a new CD from the files on your HDD and use
the original CD to make a coaster or an attractive shiny mobile.
If you make a new folder on your HDD and just copy the files from the
CD to the HDD, what happens?
If the copy fails, does the message really say "there is a problem
with the OEM" or does it say something else?
If you think your CD drive itself might be faulty, copy the contents
of the CD to the HDD on another system.
Use the process of elimination to see if the CD media is defective or
there is some other problem.
If you want to test your RAM with memtest86+, here is how to do that:
Run a test of your RAM with memtest86+ (I know it is boring and will
cost you a CD).
Memtest86+ is a more up to date version of the old memtest86 program
and they are not the same.
The memtest86+ will not run under Windows, so you will need to
download the ISO file and create a bootable CD, boot on that and then
run the memtest86+ program.
If even a single error is reported that is a failure and should make
you suspicious of your RAM.
If you have multiple sticks of RAM you may need to run the test on
them one at a time and change them out to isolate the failure to a
particular single stick. Always keep at least the first bank of RAM
occupied so the test will find something to do and there is enough to
boot your system.
Sometimes, reseating the RAM in the slots will relieve the error but a
failure is still cause for suspicion.
The file and instructions are here:

Here is a link that show you have to create and use the memtest86+ CD:

If someone says to run memtest86, you can tell them to go pound sand
and that you know memtest86+ supercedes memtest86 and here's why:
