Running a node

Ive been trying to run a node on my ThinkPad with Debian installed on it for about a week. I keep getting all sorts of errors. I keep giving those errors to AI and it keeps giving me all sorts of solutions but then after some time another error pops up - this loop has been happening for a week and its so frustrating!

Any advice on what to do to actually run your own node?

Some of the errors that keep happening:

Error: A fetal internal error occurred...Failed to connect best block (bad-txnmrklroot, hashMerkleRoot mismatch)

Error: A fetal internal error occurred...Corrupt block found indicating potential hardware failure

Error: A fetal internal error occurred...System error while flushing Fatal LevelDB error: Corruption: lock checksum mismatch...

EDIT: I was downloading core 28.1 then tried 29.0. I have SSD
