There isn't anything that says the new PS doesn't have problems. Have you got a spare you can test. You don't even have to screw it into place to test it.

With the panic when vm starts makes me think it is HD related but you never know if you are seeing a symptom or a side effect until you solve it. Kent > > I thing one of the hdds is on the way out..
