well, the power supply is easier and cheaper to replace than the 
motherboard. from what you say so far, I'd guess the motherboard to be 
slightly more likely than the power supply, but then again your 
troubles started after adding a 3rd hard drive which is a significant 
increase in power demands. it certainly will help your system to be 
more reliable in the long run with a nicer power supply from antec or 
sparkle.
