Its having a problem finding the drive. Prior to this it ran fine right? Power supply would not cause your symptoms. There something going on with either your BIOS or the drives. There are 3 things I would try.

1. You already did with the drive analysis
2. Your Master Boot Record is corrupt
3. Your BIOS is not remembering the settings.

Reboot and immediately get into SETUP. Are the drives showing up in there?

Reset your BIOS either using the jumper on the motherboard or taking out the CMOS battery and leave out for about 5 minutes. This will reset everything back to defaults. Then boot and gbet back into SETUP and set the correct date and time (as it will change once the BIOS is reset.)

If the computer is 4 years old, may spend $3 and replace the CMOS battery.
