Have you recently opened the case for any reason? I had exactly these symptoms recently and eventually found it was due to my having displaced the data cables to the hard drives slightly. It was particularly difficult to diagnose because I had just upgraded my CPU with an Upgradeware adapter and naturally assumed at first that the trouble was there. I even replaced the PSU, thinking it might be that, but the roblem persisted at intervals. It finally disappeared after I unplugged all the data cables and put them back.
