I have windows 10 64 bit, and there is the little yellow sign near the ethernet controller, and it says I need an ethernet controller driver. Ethernet seems to be working though. Any help is appreciated.

Windows 10 will use generic drives for many things in your computer. Is your rig store bought, a special build or did you put it together yourself ? You most likely need specific drivers for your Ethernet controller. Post your make and model or if a home build list your motherboard, CPU, GPU, power supply and whatever else is in there, that will get you a more specific answer.

Your motherboard came with a support CD, I don't see a CD/DVD player but assume you used one for the OS. Put your CD in and when prompted click open to view contents, you want your main board drivers but look for Ethernet controller drivers, if you haven't done it yet make sure your USB drivers are installed also. Try to avoid the install all button as you probably don't need or want everything on the disk. Not sure on an AMD based GPU but it should have your HD audio drivers covered whenever you update it.
 


Find the latest drivers you need here. Just select your OS and install them all except for the .net framework and the VGA one.
