My pc won't read cd/dvd drives, and if it does it slows the computer
Hello there, I wanted to try building a pc on my own about a year ago, I installed everything and when i turned the pc on, everything seemed to be working well, I saw the cd drives and everything seemed ok, then I installed the sound drivers and I noticed my cd drives were when i rebooted my pc, I noticed that if I keep the sound drivers installed, the computer doesn't recognize the cd drives, it doesn't show 'em at all, when i uninstalled the sound drivers, the CD drives were back on, I didn't use CDs so I decided to just leave it without drives and have the sound installed, but now i noticed that whenever I put my flashdrive on and I restart the computer, sometimes the drive doesn't appear and if it does, the computer starts slowing down and skipping like a cd on a cd player while moving it too fast. then when i try to turn it off it freezes and i need to manually shut down the pc, Any idea what could be causing the problem?
please help me, thank you

I think you must enter the bios and select to load optimal settings after this your computer will work faster i think
Install CD/DVD as master on IDE2, not as slave on IDE1 with the HDD on the same channel.
