Adding a second HDD to my PC is causing a blue screen on boot.
I hope someone can help me with this. I have a spare HDD from a recently upgraded laptop lying around and want to install it in my desktop in addition to the 1 SSD I have in there currently. The problem is once I connect the drive and try to boot I boot right into blue screen. Disconnect the HDD and it boots fine. Don't cringe but I even tried a hot install of the drive once the machine was up and running and it blue screened as soon as I connected it. Take that same HDD and plug it into USB port via an adapter and it reads as a perfectly fine NTFS formatted blank drive. I already tried a different SATA jack on my MOBO. I am out of ideas but I suspect some of you more knowledgeable people may lead me into settings in the bios but its is beyond my skill to mess around in there too much without a good guide. Any help would be appreciated.......
