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.
