My hard drive has stopped working all of a sudden, it dosent spin and dosent show up in windows or in the BIOS, however I do have an SSD which is working fine, I have checked both sata cables to the psu and to the motherboard replaced the cables with spares and even use the ones I know are working for the SSD. I have even tried a brand new unused identical hard drive that my dad bought for his PC and that has the same issue. I have also tried things such as removing the SSD and having only the hard drive connected and putting my Kraken X62 sata plug onto a different cable and unplugging it all together, I have tried removing my graphics card and disconnecting my hue+. I have tried all the different sata and periferal slots on my PSU and all the sata slots on my Motherboard. My bios is also on the latest version

 

My specs are 

X99A SLI plus Motherboard

Gtx 1070

i7-6800k

NZXT Kraken X62 AIO cooler

NZXT Hue+

Samsung 250 evo SSD

Seagate barracuda 2tb HDD

Corsair RM750X PSU

4x4gb Corsair vengance 2400hz RAM

 

EDIT: Forgot to mention I was swapping and installing parts when this happened, my Kraken my PSU and my hue plus are all new

Sorry to hear you're having trouble with your drive. You've already tried a lot of the troubleshooting we would normally recommend with switching cables, ports, etc. You could also try the drive in another computer. We would also normally recommend scanning with our diagnostic tool SeaTools, however, if it's not being seen in the BIOS then it probably won't see the drive either. You can look into potential RMA information by going to our Warranty Validation Tool & filling out the drive info.

If switching out the drive to another PC doesn't work, it could be dying, although that's unlikely. In the case it does work on another computer, then there might be something wrong related to one or more of the components in your PC.
Have you installed any windows updates lately? The most recent one, 1803, used to break peoples' operating systems and other stuff, but I'm not sure if they fixed it yet. In the case it happened after the update, I'd suggest doing a rollback and see how that works. If you still have the old PSU (considering it was in working condition), you could try to use that and see if the issue is in the new PSU somehow. 
In case none of those work, and seagate_surfer's advice doesn't help, I don't know what to do then. Considering your dad's new and unused identical drive didn't work, I'll have to guess that it's related to a driver or update that affected this specific drive.
Hope you can fix this!
