Greeting forums,
I am having some issues with my new build. It has been crashing and it will send me the the "blue screen of death" briefly before restarting. I am able to load the system up and peform tasks. After downloading all the drivers I tried to install Starcraft 2. It would get around 86% and then say I had Hard drive error, DVD-CD error, or a damaged disc. After a third try the game installed and I was able to play for a couple hours. The next day the system crashed and it would not start up again. However, I've also experienced crashes when downloading windows updates.
Is it possible that my DVD/CD drive is not installing things properly? Could it have installed most of the operating system and left out things that would cause crashes?
My motherboard (MSI 750N-G55) has five SATA connectors, SATA 1 &2 and 3&4 are stacked on top one another. SATA 5 is off to the side and is in blue as opposed to black. Should SATA 5 be the connector to my hard drive?

Everything is powered in the case. All fans are working. Nothing feels hot or anywhere near overheating.
I would greatly appreciate the help.
