Trying the disks in another machine is a great step, it will eliminate those quickly. Use your own cables too so you can eliminate them from suspicion.
If this is hardware related, from my own experience I would say it's most likely to be (in order): - Power Supply - Memory (especially if ever handled without anti-static precautions) - Bad driver / disk controller - Bad cpu / motherboard - other component When you get your new board, just set it up for troubleshooting with the bare minimum components: - Power supply - Motherboard - CPU - Memory - Disks - Power button Don't even connect the reset switch or the case LED's. It's by far the quickest way to eliminate items from suspicion.
