Sounds like a power supply prob! If you have added hardware to your PC, the power supply may not be producing the wattage your system now needs. Try a bigger power supply. 450 watts or better.

try making sure your power cord is plugged in securely. Also try bending the prongs on the cord that plugs into the wall socket, Sometimes just by bending the cord prongs, it will give a better connection to your power source.
Your problem is a power sorce one. most likely your connection to your wall socket

I can give you a link that deals with hard drive problems.
Some drive problems can be easily fixed by yourself using easily available tools. I found the info at http://fixit.in useful. Try this site, if you can get what is required
