secondary SATA drive: PC won't boot

[realpsygnosis]

Hi to all, i'm new of this forum but I attempt tomshw italy section already.
I just try to find a more "international" advice for a problem of mine.

Listen to my story =) if you want:

In my specs I have 2 HDD: 1 Crucial SSD 120gb with windows and 1 HDD SATA magnetic.

One week ago my old SATA I 250Gb Drive start to freeze for few sec while i play games or rarely while i transfert files.
Crystal Disk info show me this:
OLD DRIVE INFO
at ID 07 - seek error - you can see that value that start to grow up boot after boot. Someone told me that the drive start to end his life because of a mechanic problem.
So...i buy a new one - or better a regenerated one -.

I plug to my PC my "new" WD green 320Gb SATA II and...the comuputer won't start...
black screen, no motherboard logo, no bios, nothing.
If I unplug the WD, computer start normally.
After some tries the computer starts and I can use it...I just let windows format the new hard drive (1 hour of slow format I don't know if it's normal).
Then again I shutdown the PC...and........BOOM...my pc won't start again... I try to plug and unplug and after some time it boot...

Until yesterday noon to now I boot the PC 5 times and all that time start with no problem.

I don't know what to do with this drive...if it's faulty or not...here is the crystal disk info:
NEW DRIVE INFO

What do u advice to me? RMA the drive? or keep it?

Thanks u all in advance

RMA it, but be prepared to test it with the manufacturer's diagnostic software from the WD website. They usually insist on that before an RMA.
