When my PSU was failing I had no end of trouble with 4 HDD's throwing unrecoverable sector errors. Run Seatools, flag 'em, reboot and hours/days later i'd get hangs/stutters, repeat. Then the BSOD's started and in the end it was the PSU because system was trouble free for the month before I switched to new PC.
