So in my build I have three drives, boot drive 480GB SSD (A), second game drive 60GB (B) , and a hard drive 1TB (C) boosted by a 32GB optane. I turned my PC on this afternoon and couldn't get steam to open (Installed on A) so I restarted my PC and it got stuck in a loop of the motherboard screen. I grabbed my backup OS drive and pluged it into see what was wrong, I could read drives A & B just fine, with drive C not showing from what my thought was not having optane on my backup OS. So I reinstalled windows on drive A after a few tries at repairing it with a flash drive, it would not detect my drive or make any repairs. So after a fresh install of windows I can boot my PC up, but only with drives A & B plugged in or drives A & C plugged in, but not all three at once with the optane installed. and I cannot read drive C at all or my optane drive in disk at any time. I also tried moving the optane drive slots and taking it out, no change and drivers were reinstalled on this OS on drive A. After taking the optane out for a while and then replacing it, the motherboard screen came up with fixing drive C, with all drives pluged in. This might take a bit, so I am going to post this in the case of it still not booting to understand any possible solutions.

After it trying to fix disk C and getting stuck for 10 minutes at the same progress I restarted. My PC can now boot into windows, read disks A & B, Lists my optane drive, but does not display disk C to be able to be read or used by optane. Drive C displays a message of "The drive cannot find the sector requested"

EDIT: It gets stuck half-way through repairing drive C at stage 2 

EDIT 2: Even with drive C removed, it says its fixing the drive. I can get any data off this old drive still through a third party software, but I'm not understanding this repair screen that comes up each boot
