My one Asus motherboard (M2NPV-VM) worked fine, right up until the day
it died. If yours still works, I would expect it to work with new
Seagate SATA 3 HDD's.
Disconnect all drives and the cage.
Get a power supply tester and test your power supply.
Test your memory:

Take an image of your system drive and back up all of your data.
Install one new HDD in an internal drive bay. Connect it to a known
good power cable, and a known good SATA port on the motherboard using a
known good SATA cable. Boot the HDD manufacturer diagnostic CD and run
all the utilities. For Seagate, I use SeaTools for DOS:

If the HDD passes all the tests, boot a Debian Wheezy installation CD,
install Debian on the HDD, boot the HDD, log in, and see if there are
errors in the logs.
If Debian works correctly, move the HDD to the cage, connect the cage,
and try again.
If you run into problems, post the details.
