Dead Harddrive or could Reformat save it?

I have never had a dead hdd so I am not sure might be a simple answer.

Anyways I recently have been getting these Machine Check Exception Blue screens when i ever i boot. I came to conclusion that it was my second harddrive that was causing it. Everytime i disconnected it from the computer it worked fine and booted fine. So i plugged it back in and went to safe mode to see what was wrong. I ran a chkdisk on it for errors and it found some corrected them then started saying recovering orphaned file and it preceeded to recover all my files. I rebooted and went into windows normally no problems. I played music from the second harddrive and then went about 15 minutes later the computer started to freeze up and I rebooted and got the blue screen again. Going to safe mode and error checking again worked but again it froze up after about 15 mins. I get no distortion or bad files in anything on the second drive but it freezes up after awhile. What I want to know is this drive dead or can i reformat it and it will work fine?

1st hard drive is windows partition and programs partition
2nd hard drive is files partition
 
The Hard Drive manufactures usually provide you with a utility that can check the drive bellow formatting level.

If you do not have it, log to your drive manufacturer?s site it is usually available for download.
