If it is not the drive itself, then especially as the other drive - the new one
one may suspect the ram, the disk controller - motherboard, the PSU failing to supply correct voltage.
I suggest you start with a ram check using WMD
Control Panel Admin Tools - Windows memory diagnostic
If it reports errors you can more or less be assured that a stick of ram is defective
If it reports AIO I would suggest you confirm that result with Memtest
