I would check the cables. If there is a loose connection in the power cable it could give an intermittent read error. Same if you have a bad signal cable. Check those before you decide the motherboard is fried. Try a different power cable. If that doesn't solve the problem, use a different signal cable. If that doesn't solve the problem, switch ports on the motherboard. If THAT doesn't solve the problem, it becomes more likely to be a problem with the controller on the motherboard.

"In short, Meyer has shown that his first disastrous book was not a fluke: he is capable of going into any field in which he has no training or research experience and botching it just as badly as he did molecular biology. As I've written before, if you are a complete amateur and don't understand a subject, don't demonstrate the Dunning-Kruger effect by writing a book about it and proving your ignorance to everyone else!
