HELP! Drives not detected

[Tgills3]

While playing Skyrim my pc froze and the speakers started beeping, I restarted, after the restart windows attempted to "Repair" but failed. I then went into the bios to find only one of my drives was detected, I thought bad sata cable or drive, tested both a new sata cable and both drives on a different pc and they work! So what is wrong with my main pc? To make things ever weirder when ever I restart my pc and go into bios it changed which drive it detects and which it doesnt... It will only detect on at a time, please help

Faulty cable or connector(mobo)?

I tried switching sata ports and that wouldnt work so im thinking its the sata controller? Does this seem logical?

SATA controllers dont fail

 

it might be the actual HDD that failed

does it even spin up when you boot your computer? put your hand on it to check

It does spin when I boot, and I threw it into another pc and it works just fine
