Hog 3 shutting down

About a week ago my console shut down in the middle of programming. It then attempted to restart but just keep going to the start up(very first) screen and then would go black for a second and then the back to the first screen. It did that a few times till i powered down. i tried to restart and it was doing the same thing. I had remove the power cable and wait a minute and then it started correctly. it worked fine the rest of the day till i went to shut it down at the end of the night and it started to shut down but then went to the start up screen and started to loop again. I was running 3.1.7 and decided to do a clean install to 3.1.9. Well today it shut down on me again while programming and started to loop on the start up screen but after the second loop it actually started so I logged back into the show and continued programming. What do you guys thing it could be? I'm on a battery backup so I don't think it was an external power issue. I was logged on as a client. Thanks in advance for any help!!

    It's doing it again. I started up my console today and it logged in and then a few minutes later it restarted. It just kept rebooting itself after the splash screen would come up. I pulled power and restarted and it just kept rebooting to the start screen. pulled power again and it started to boot then both screens went black and all the chooser buttons started flashing. I pulled power again, left it for about 10 minutes and restarted and it's been running for about an hour. I feel it's the hard drive going bad. Can I go to Fry(or Best Buy) purchase a hard drive, replace it in my console and install hog OS 3.1.9? Is there a walk thru(instructions) how to do this if it's possible?
    Thanks in advance,
