^It might be your PSU issue...the same thing happened to me with my graphics card and 500W PSU...i changed to 700 and everything was fine.

is 500 w not sufficient for mine ?

Almost one year it worked fine .

Also check if it works by changing the SATA Cable.
Make sure that the cable is also not excessively bent.

Check boot priority in BIOS before buying anything.

Would that prevent the system from starting , i have tried clearing the cmos too

Depends- no harm in checking bios. Trash the power supply in any case. bad power supplies slowly kill the pc and when one notices- its too late. cm 460w extreme plus has efficiency of 70% tested under operational temps of 40 degrees celcius.

I am getting a new power supply soon , 460 w would be sufficient for my pc ?

I lost a hdd with lots of data in it , i dont want to take any more chances
