I bought 2 HDDs WD 1Tb Black for Windows 8 and Games, and WD 2Tb Green for movies and tvs. SATA set to AHCI in the BIOS.
When I connect both HDDs inside the case the screen freezes at the boot logo and I can't access the BIOS, but when I connect the 1Tb only the system boots fine.

Few things I tried:
1. Connecting the 2Tb using USB, I can access and format.
2. Bought a new PSU Corsair TX850.
3. Set the Bios Setting to default.

My Rig:
i7 2600k 3.4 Stock
PSU Corsair TX850
2 x 4 Corsair 1600 ram
ASUS GTX570 DirectCU II
Asus p8z68 V Pro Gen3

did you install windows in WD 2TB? or its just a partition?
i think change your boot priority in BIOS to WD 1TB

WD 2TB is empty.
I can't access the bios to change priority when the 2TB is connected.
