I'm having trouble with my system. I had a bit of trouble installing windows 7 in the first place. When i started it up, my computer immediately posted, and i began to boot up windows. It would freeze up on starting windows, and would not go past that point. I tried clearing the CMOS, unplugging whatever i didn't need on the MOBO to post, and it still wouldn't. So i simply unplugged my HDD and left my SSD and DVD drive in the SATA ports and it work in an instant. Now that i have windows installed, and good to go, it instantly boots up (With the SSD and DVD drive just plugged in). Now when i plug my hdd in it fails to boot into windows and just freezes on the 'Windows starting' screen. I unplugged it and it works again. I was wondering if my MOBO just doesn't like the HDD or what.

Here are my specs:
35570k
760 EVGA SC
ASrock Z77 Extreme 4
OCZ 750w
G. Skill 8gb 1600mhz
WD 1TB Green
Kingston HyperX 120 gb

The SATA Configuration is:
SSD A3-0
HDD A2-3
DVD A2-2
