Or power supply, or the electronics of the HDD. Maybe was the power 
supply and it damaged other components in the PC since is delivering 
voltages and amperages out of range, hence the scaling malfunctioning. 
Maybe is one or more fans in the PC(including the one(s) in the power 
supply), are they running ok?

Exactly my thoughts, if you're not one or have experience 
troubleshooting PC problems do as John said and take it to a technician.
You need a careful diagnose by a qualified person to trouble shoot every 
  problem.
