sounds like a dying PSU

I had an enermax start to go on me when I switched from PATA to SATA drives (still running 2 drives though) and it either could spin them up but not keep them spinning, or not start them at all

I had a PC which every so often wouldnt see the HDD (usually after a soft reset), turned out the HDD was dying.

Maybe test the HDD with the manu. tools?
