I recently built my first PC and am having issues with things. I am able to turn everything on and installed Win10 on my SSD (I have an SSD for a boot drive and a HDD for storage). I can successfully boot the OS, but it starts up in a low graphics compatibility mode ("until correct drivers are installed"). I am using a USB cd drive to try to install the MSI Motherboard Drivers from the CD, but it will not autorun when inserted. When I access the CD drive from the file explorer, it basically locks up the system and I cannot open directories on the disk or open files.

The LED indicator for the SSD/HDD is blinking red or staying off.

I don't know if that will address all the issues. I'm a networking guy rather than hardware. I guess I have to figure out why the HDD indicator light on the front panel of the case is red to address that.
 


What's your pc build?
