Freezes when my hardrive is plugged in

Help…

I recieved a wd tv live a couple days ago as a gift and when ever my hardrive is plugged into it, it freezes on me…and then i have to unplug it and when i start it up again it freezes on me again at the most random times. It works perfectly fine when nothing is plugged into it…

Can you test with a different drive?

What brand model and capacity is the drive?

It could be the drive and not the player
