Are you running overclocked? If so, disable your OC. If not, try bumping up the voltage to your CPU anyway. It might just be a chip that was slightly out of margin, but not caught, and when you added your hard drives, it may have pushed it over the edge.
Reason i mention this, is because after running my i7 at 4.0 for two years, i had to turn the voltage up to sustain it, and it's to the point now where it won't run at stock clock on stock voltage, and i got much the same issues as you.
Also, check your IOH/QPI temp if possible.
