Your HDD might have bad sectors or there may be some loose connection in your SATA cable to motherboard. Check if all cables are connected tightly. As Minion said, there may be a problem with your SMPS so give it a thought too. If nothing works, time to change your HDD.

Remove the HDD and plug it in to friend comp. Check it for errors & Back up the data.

If no errors found on the HDD and still its giving errors then SMPS might be the culprit.
