Backstory.. So I've had issues with my drives since I built my computer back in February. Originally it had a 500 gb ssd to use with the OS and a couple games and a 3tb HDD for anything else. The computer with both drives plugged in wasn't running very good. 100% usage on both. I later thought the OS was having issues with the ssd, so I unplugged it and installed windows on the HDD. Fast forward to now, I ordered a new ssd, and I had just this past week learned how to update the bios, which I learned can help drive stability. So I updated the bios, and decided to give the 500gb ssd another go, and wiped the HDD of os and everything on it as a secondary once again. After getting it set up, checked bios to make sure the main screen boot priority was right, and the HDD wasn't in there at all... I went into the settings to check the secondary menu that has the boot priorities and what not and there it was... okay so I went ahead and exited the bios and turned my pc on and got the black screen of death. I ended up turning my pc off and unplugged the HDD to try the ssd on it's own, and it was lightning fast suddenly... So I figured the HDD was the issue. The new ssd came in today, I put it in the computer, plugged in everything, and booted up my pc, checking the bios to make sure the boot priority was correct.... And it wasn't there again... Checked the secondary one again and it was there. I went to boot up the computer and got the black screen of death again... Only this time windows loaded up except it's pretty much unuseable and unresponsive.. sorry for the long backstory but I figured I'd atleast explain everything I've done... Am I missing something or doing something wrong? I'm so frustrated I just want to use my PC. Please if you have any ideas send them my way. It seems to me the issue only occurs when there are 2 drives, but it's completely fine with 1.
