Default pc can't detect hd and disc drives

Yesterday I was watching videos on my pc when it suddenly froze. Of course I pushed on restart, since it just won't move at all.

After that, it won't go on to Windows. It just dies after a couple of seconds on. I stopped trying to get it to work for 3 hours then tried it again. It functioned just fine.

Then, this morning, when I tried working with it, it just won't start again. A few more tries later, it proceeds to Windows, but restarts after getting to the desktop screen. I thought maybe it needs some cooling down so I took a fan and placed it near the CPU.
So, then, it worked. It doesn't restart anymore. But this time, my second HD and my 2 disc drives aren't detected. I tried restarting, but the other drives won't come back.

What could have possible gone wrong with it? Cables? RAM? the fan??
And what do I have to do to get it working normally again? Thanks.

hello & Welcome to PCHF Schlei,

check to make sure all your cables are in secure. also check inside BIOS to see if the PC is seeing them.

it's been a while. i kind of forgot this thread because my computer went normal again after CHKDSK.

but, just for the record, when i went to bios [before chkdsk], it didn't recognize anything but my main drive.
