I would suspect that this might be a power-issue,
especially as you said that HDD's gone offline.
Observe your +12V and +5V voltages from PSU via
lm_sensors or in BIOS to if your values are OK.
Keyboards and mice are powered w. +5V (both PS/2
and USB) so that might be the voltage to focus on.
Regarding the HDD: you might find a spin-up delay
setting in SCSI-BIOS, to prevent all devices being
powered-up all at the same time.
