So, I have been getting BSOD's about once a month since July, when I first built this PC. However, I have also gotten some freezes that required hard shutdowns.

The most recent freezes I could see were seen when running SeaTools diagnostics for the drives. I have two 1TB hard drives and as soon as I would start SeaTools, it would instantly freeze my entire PC. I cloned my main drive using DiscWizard onto my empty second drive. because I figured the original had problems. However, when running SeaTools with only one of the drives hooked up (it does not matter which), the PC would not freeze at all. But when I have both hooked up now, it will guaranteed freeze, no matter what. I am at a loss and have no idea how to fix this. Please help!

These freezes have occurred elsewhere at random and I have had many BSOD's. I have no idea

Are there better options? Most people say CrystalDiskInfo likes to install a bunch of other software and adware. Plus, I passed SeaTools diagnostics...which I found odd. Maybe the Sata ports are bad? Also, in the BIOS, I can manually choose to boot from my second drive, BUT I cannot add it to the boot priority list. It will only show up in the boot priority list if my main drive isn't hooked up.
