... Series of errors described.  Diferent places, different kinds.

I ran into similar problems.  I ran the diagnostics and they either
failed completely and I had to reboot; or they worked fine.  Something
I read suggested a power supply problem.  I switched it out and I have
had no more problems at all for about 9 months.

My conclusion was, odd Hard Drive errors suggests power supply
problems until proven otherwise.
