Run smartctl -t long /dev/<your drive> and when it finished inspect the results with smartctl -a /dev/<your drive> [ <your drive> seems to be hdb ] I suggest you do this in runlevel 3 (so without X) and doing nothing with the PC during the selftest time. Check too your cables. Often enough a damaged cable or one with bad contact to the motherboard is cause of trouble.
