Ok so I resurrected an old q6600 computer with an gigabyte x38 motherboard and a seasonic psu. I had issues with the ram and getting the os to install on a brand new wd blue 1tb hdd. Ended up with a bad hdd and rma'ed it. Ok so everyone will get a bad component every now and then. I put an older but not very used seagate 500gb while the rma went through. Os installed fine and updated etc.. everythings good. I went to start it up after a couple of days and got past post and error popped up with boot drive failure. Could it be the computer eating the hdds or just really ironic normal failures? I really dont want to burn another drive to test it so I am at a loss.

What power supply you using? might be the case that your PSU is not powerful enough or having troubles. Check with another PSU
