Well I just built myself a new system. I went to install dragon age origins and at some random point through out the installation it says installation failed a data error occured. Well orginally i had been getting some blue screens and with help from some of my friends we decided it was probably my Asus M4a77td mother board had problems. So i sent it back to new egg and got the same type of mother board. went to try and install DAO again and the probelm was the same as it was last time. No blue screens or anything so far so Im hoping its a compatability issue between windows 7 and DAO. Any help or suggestions you guys could give me would be amazing.

you can check the installation error log for slighly more information. (in your dragonage folder under your dokument). also make sure you don't have any conflicting or old rar compression tools installed. I got so many random checksum errors when i had it that it was a pain to install. each time it failed randomly when it tried to unpack a new archive. (plenty of those, so it demanded about 10 tries to get it through), after uninstalling old rar compressions tool it went away.

I had to turn of UAC on my Win 7 64bit box to get Dragon Age to install, but have had no other issues.

It sounds like an optical drive problem. IIRC there's a large RAR file on the disc, if it is not passworded etc, you could try manually extracting the contents to a temp folder and see if you get checksum errors (as cid mentions). Alternatively, you could try a different optical drive.

p.s. for What its worth, I ran the install as admin on win7 64bit, no UAC adjustments and no issues.

I ran the installer on Win 7 64bit just fine for what it is worth (As admin). Be sure there's no scratches or smudges on the CD either. But I would also check the error log and try the UAC thing as well. My notebook is an Asus G72 (So, same company in terms of motherboard).
