Recently my hard drive stopped working it spins for 10 seconds then stops and my pc was not starting no beep sound nothing and then i changed sata cable and power cable still no luck then i tried my old drive which is WD 80gb and that hard drive works with no problem but if i connect both the hard drive again my pc wont start.
On the boot device menu it only shows my 80gb old hard drive not my 500 hard drive.
Is this possible that the problem can be because of pcb board??
What can be the possible solution?
 
Solution
Replace the faulty hard drive is the only solution. It has failed.

It could be it's PCB that's faulty, or the drive may have mechanically failed.
Either way the fix is the same, replace it.

It looks to me that some physical error in your WD BLUE WD5000AAKX 500GB HDD, hence it requires to repair, but remember one thing if any data have in the HDD, retrieve it first.
