Can a hard drive punch through to a motherboard?

Question

Hard disks

Lately my computer has been acting weird. Booting the system has become not 20 seconds, but as much as 50 + 15 seconds lock screen + 1 minute of loading. With TPM2.0 and SecureBoot enabled, the system does not boot. Artifacts start in the BIOS.
I decided to disable one of the hard drives. Surprisingly, the system began to work perfectly. Everything is back to normal. TPM2.0 and SecureBoot are up and running. Virtual machines (there will be a separate question) also kept working without failures.
Yesterday I ran this hard drive with the VictoriaHDD program in Refresh and Remap modes and the system worked as expected.

What's happening? Why does a hard drive that is NOT bootable, NOT mandatory, cause so many problems?

Answer 1

Because the system is trying to read it.
Check the sata wire at the disk, plug it into another connector. If it doesn't help, the disk is dead.
Although, judging by the fact that the remap helped in Victoria, the disk is in the trash
