I don't do a lot of hard drive switching. The two hard drives in there right now have been there for months. They are both Western Digitals. One is 40GB, the other is 80GB.
The Mobo is an FIC AD11.

You say that apps freeze. That means you were actually in your OS? Then you rebooted, poked around and found your computer not to register them at all, and then rebooted it and it worked fine. Did it register any other drives i.e. cd-rom? If so that says HD. If not that says to look elsewhere.
I was in the OS (WinXP Pro), using it like normal. Then the apps start freezing up and I can't shutdown, because windows freezes up if I try. So I hit the reset button. Then I'm looking at the POST screen you get when you turn the computer on. Instead of listing the hard drives I have, it says None for both of them. So I shut it off, open it up, poke around (not really changing anything), close it up, then turn it on. Then it works fine. If I just shut it off and turn it on (after waiting a couple seconds, of course), it doesn't work.
