Your HDDs are perfectly healthy.

If you ran Furmark in "Burn-in test" mode and had no crash, that likely means the GPU is fine, too. No need to run additional GPU tests IMHO.

Next I would suggest to run checkdisk:
1) open the command prompt
2) type in

Code:

chkdsk volume:/f

(replace "volume" with the letter assigned to your OS volume)
3) You should be presented with the message

Code:

Chkdsk cannot run because the volume is in use by another process. Would you like to schedule this volume to be checked the next time the system restarts? (Y/N)

- type y and press enter
4) Reboot and let chkdsk run.
5) When you are back to the OS, post a new csv from the "System" event logs.

And the next step is to run the following in the command prompt:

Code:

sfc /scannow

It should then ask you to insert a CD disk containing your Windows XP installation. Unfortunately, it is impossible to perform this fix without the CD.
When sfc completes, please copy and post here all the output from the command prompt.
