[Not a good sign - drive IO failiure]

Check all your cables and try booting the PC in different memory and hard drive configurations. Sometimes it can even be stuff like the DVD drive fouling up the boot process so the more you can strip away the more chance you have of fixing the problem and then you can continue adding components back in until you find the faulty one.

 

Personally I don't think it is a motherboard problem and if it is I imagine you can fix it with a BIOS reflash (although I wouldn't recommend this until you have no other options left as theres a risk that you could brick your motherboard if you do it wrong).
