==== EDIT: Further testing revealed an I/O error with the drive. Sorry!
Okay, a very weird problem here: I've just put together a new build based on an ASRock Extreme 4+ FM2 motherboard. I have it (nearly) completely assembled, and Windows 7 installed on a 64GB SSD. Everything runs fine until I plug in the second HDD, a 1TB Hitachi drive (brand new). Upon plugging it in, the motherboard takes almost a minute (or more) to get to the ASRock logo / Post screen, and freezes there once it does. I've also plugged the HDD into another computer and found it to be fully functional. I've also tried resetting CMOS.
Rest of build info:
