  • 1st question, does it work in safe mode? 2nd question: you gave us lots of information but nothing from your console before the crash. 3d question, did you run apple hardware test?

A recommended debugging procedure would be:

Before proceeding disable (or uninstall 3d party stuff)

  1. Start in Safe mode and check.

  2. Reset your SMC since you changed the hardware and have fans running at full speed (sometimes).

  3. Since you changed lots of hardware, run Apple Hardware test.

  4. Reset your PRAM/NVRAM (EFI)

  5. Clean your Disk from errors, and repair the permissions.
