Recently, I built my first gaming PC. So far, pretty much has been going smoothly besides when I try and install the drivers for my MoBo. When I try to do this, my ssd, that I have my OS installed on, doesn't have the bar that says how much memory is left anymore. Instead this shows. I know that this is a drivers problem because it doesn't happen until I install all of the drivers and restart. This is the website with the drivers . I was wondering what drivers do I need on this website for everything to function? A few of my components include i5 3570k, GTX 660 ti, Crucial m4 128GB SSD, and a 1TB HDD. Also, if you know what driver may be causing it, what is it so I can just not install it? All help is greatly appreciated!

do you have your drive set to AHCI in the bios? it's probably a matter of installing the drivers isn't allowing the OS to "ping" the drive for its details regularly. if this is your only problem with a build, count yourself lucky, because this is a pretty minor thing... unless you are having other issues?

A driver would be needed for the hard drive controller, but not the drive itself. As mentioned, did you set the drive to AHCI in the BIOS?
