You also might try a known good power supply as well.  

You should definitely try the drive on another system if you can't do that, and/or try another drive with the current mother board.  With the errors being different over time it could easily be nearly any component in the system.  Symptoms are sometimes misleading, trouble shooting is difficult for most people, sometimes even for people who are usually good at it and experienced.  Root causes are often obscured and failures can propagate in unforeseen ways even for the experienced.  Testing suspect components in another system and/or substituting known good components into the failing system are the most useful for trouble shooting, but you have to remember what you've tested and what it suggested and recheck when it doesn't make sense.
