Hmm is it only music on one + games on the other that crashes your PC? Or anything when both drives are used?

If its just music and games that are crashing your PC (stuff with sound) then I would check your nforce mobo/sound drivers could be out of date (im assuming your using onboard sound), they released some rather poor ones a while ago.

Oh and check your jumper settings on your harddrives are set correctly.
