Can a bad Powersupply or weak mainboard create Uncorrectable Errors on
HDDs? Again only a question to experience of this community...
It certainly can temporarily (under load).
Try offloading some power strain by removing some peripherals (CD-ROM,
non-mandatory disk drive) and see if it solves your problem.
I might be mistaken (don't know the exact behavior of drive electronics)
but it seems unlikely that a bad PSU with underrated voltage could
damage a drive (overrated voltage is another matter). Usually under spec
PSUs fail to produce enough juice under load and the system simply
becomes unstable.
