Running a new system and I'm ruining into some weird issues I think are related to the HHD.

Running a gamer 5 Mini ATX, 4790k, xfx 850 pro, 2 wd 3tb and a 840 256 SSD.

The first issue I had was the computer randomly failed to post. I thought it was the motherboard so I swapped for a new one. Now I'm having the same issues with this one.

1. PC will usually run fine.
2. Occasionally it will freeze in OS, or fail to make it past post. I tried every other component with the old MB so I started looking at drives.
3. Running my setup, if I unhook one of the 3 tb drives, it runs fine. Running both it will sometimes freeze. If I try to add another SSD (That I know works perfectly) to the setup it wont make it past post. If I try to add a SSD dvd drive it wont make it past post. Tried many different cables. Still wont work. Any Ideas?

Bios and firmware are all up to date. PSU is a XFX Pro 850.

Just played around with it more. Very strange. I reset it a bunch with just the two drives plugged in, and eventually got a freeze during boot. But this time I played around with it a bit and its not really a freeze so to speak.

Things act very buggy in the desktop, windows dont go away, and programs wont load, but I can click on, say, my computer or other icons and get into a window. I can even right click, creat new file, and even though it doesn't show up when in this state, it will show up on the next successful reboot. I'm thinking I have something else weird going on.
