Gigabyte GA-EX58-UD4 Cant see Sata Drives??

Hi Guys,

I have just built a new computer, as this is the first computer i have put together i have had ALOT of issues, maybe cos of my numpitness but some how i did make it work!

After 2 months of using the computer with 1 TB's x 2 HD & 1 160gb sata drive, i am having weird problems now. My computer doesnt detect Sata hard disks? @ this point i felt like "whats the point in living"

now this doesnt make any sense, why would it perfectly work for 2 months & just crap out the next?, i was using Vista 64bit which was slower. to be honest id ont even know what bios setting i was using. before i open the computer and try to had disks one by one & hurt the computer or myself in the process i thought i will ask the pros. Computer specs are below. I havent tried flashing the bios but i have downloaded an upgrade which i still have to try.
