dead motherboard
However if its the ASUS board I remember, some of them when new had faulty SATA ports. I had to switch a number out onsite for Mesh. Unlikely its the case here, but it may just be worth connecting the drives to the spare SATA ports. Theres a chance one of those bad ports may have fractured and be shorting
