If the ram isn't installed, he'd have gotten that error already, it'd kick in before even trying to 'get drivers ready'.

The pc needs to be completely built before it'll work, like trying to start a car that has no dashboard nor engine.
also what other things do i need to make sure of to keep everything up to date and running smoothly wit a new build.

I tried putting in the gpu on the main slot again but I think that slot of broken or I need to download a driver or something. Also my VNME isn't showing up. Do you know how I can fix this?

You'll need to download the correct video drivers for the gpu and install them. You should also go to the motherboard vendors website /support and dl / install any relevant chipset drivers.

You do have windows on USB?
For the gpu the drives are updated, Im not sure what the correct drivers are to download for my card to work on the main slot on the motherboard

Don't worry about the slot, that'll sort itself out, or should anyways. For the motherboard, there's usually a package of drivers, you'll need that. For the gpu you'll goto nvidia and either manually search or auto search and get the right drivers.

The package should be self installing, if it isn't just use Device manager and manually update/install the drivers. The gpu is self installing.

its still not working on that slot i tried to install a lot drivers from the msi motherboard site and nvdia site but nothing seems to make it work?
