Computer doing very weird things...

Basically I have had nvidia driver probs ever since i put a geforce fx 5600 in my box. i constantly update windows and my nvidia driver to no avail. my new problem is, i have two hard drives one is my main drive that i have windows on.. 40gb the other is a 120 that i have all my games on. The 120 i believe failed but now when i go into my bios at startup it changes my settings around.. it tries booting with the game drive instead of my windows drive. sometimes it doesnt recognize my 120gb game drive at all. the config changes almost every time i try to boot. then when i finally get windows to boot. my screen usually goes black and it reboots.. this is very frustrating because it could be a driver, hard drive, or vid card.. any help is VERY appreciated..

My stats will be hard to post because im not sure EXACTLY which mobo i have.. i will look it up and try to update that via software next time my pc lets me boot it.

geforce fx 5600
amd athalon xp 1900
1gb corsair mem
asus mobo


THANKS!!!!!

remove your secondary hd and reboot. if the drive has failed, it may be causing the problem.
