If no errors are reported when the HDD's are connected to another rig or with another PSU, then that's probably where the problem is, though it could be memory, mainboard HDD controller too.

I recently started getting BSOD's every hour or so with reports of bad sectors and several times the OS was completely wiped out. Took out the HDD's reported as having bad sectors, put them on another rig, tested them with the manufacturer utility and the Long Tests from the utility passed without a problem. Full formatted them, replaced them in the problem rig and bad sectors and BSOD's all over the place again. Finally replaced the 5 year old Mercury (local make) PSU with a new Mercury PSU with a larger wattage and the rig is stable as a rock for about a week now.
