Ram: 32gb ddr2 ecc
Video card: 8400gs
Psu: seasonic 400w 80plus.

Hey there, Holly_molly.

Sorry to hear about the troubles you're having with your WD Green drive.

I'd recommend that you try the HDD with a different SATA port and different cables (both data and power), to see if the same thing happens. Make sure that the HDD is properly connected.
I'd also advise you to download DLG (Data Lifeguard) and run both tests (Quick and Extended), to see if anything alarming pops-up. Here's how to do that: How to test a drive for problems using Data Lifeguard Diagnostics for Windows.

Hope that helps. Please let me know how everything goes.

The pc goes back tofast booting when this drive is disconnected? Also what is on this second drive?

Without the second drive, my pc works fine. There is nothing on the secondary drive according to my pc.

Holly_molly :

Try reformating it with a linux CD to make sure it is truly blank. Write all data to zeros or whatever it is called. This way it will insure there should not be an issue with data. Im assuming these are sata drives, am i correct?

Yes, both of them are sata.
