I'm trying to get my new PC build up and running, but I'm seeing red and orange indicators on the motherboard. Here's what I've got so far: a GTX 1080Ti 11GB graphics card, a 1300W Antec Platinum PSU, and an X299 motherboard. I think I forgot to include a hard drive, but I'm really not sure what's causing these indicators. If anyone has any idea what else might be missing or what I should add to complete the build, I'd love some suggestions!

Are you sure the power supply is connected to the motherboard? That can sometimes be overlooked. Also, be cautious about the indicators—you might want to consult the motherboard manual. It should tell you what the colors mean. Also, if you're planning on adding a cooling system later, make sure your case has good airflow!
It might help to check if the CPU cooler is connected properly. Sometimes, if the cooler or certain power connectors aren't plugged in, the motherboard can throw warning lights. Also, double-check your RAM installation—those can cause issues if they aren't seated correctly.
