Tony, Tony, Tony ... you need to use a period now and again.

It sounds like your hard drive is not spinning with your current PSU, but it does with another one. That is a power issue and has nothing to do with your motherboard. It could be the power connector you are using is damaged. Without power, the hard drive will not show up in BIOS.

I would try another power connector. I assume it is a SATA connector. Most PSUs will have 2 cables with SATA power connectors (enough for 4 hard drives).

with the pc in windows use the vendor test tools and hd tune to read the health and firmware of the drive. see if the firmware is old or if the drive has firmware issues. if it not a firmware issue if the drive fails vendor self test tools rma it.

If you have tried multiple power connectors and the hard drive will not spin, then the most likely thing is a physical fault with the hard drive. (BTW, how do you know it won't spin?)
If this is a new drive, I would look to return it to where you bought it or send it directly back to the manufacturer.
If this is an old drive, but less than 3 years old, it is probably still under manufacturer warranty.
If is a drive older than that, then I hope there is nothing important on it.

its actually a new drive 1 year as passed i tried with my old rig(i. e intel to test it out the hdd seems to be working fine but in the current rig it wont show up but only shows up in bios when the motherboard in slow booting process but when i boot after it is shown in bios it wont show up in my computer (i. e my local drive or anything i checked in device manager as well only 1 sata drive shows up (i. e primary which have my os) also tried connecting only my second hdd to it removing my first still same results not showing up in bios as in some videos i i unscrewed the logic chip and cleaned at its pionts where they connect

So, it's a 1 year old drive with nothing important on it? Contact the manufacturer and find out if they will do a warranty replacement.
