I know this is a bit of a late reply--have you tried reformatting and installing your OS fresh??
Also, have you tested any other power supplies? I realize yours died and you got a new one--but if you don't have a way to test it, you could be using another bad PSU (or even an underpowered one) without knowing it.
What did your old PSU do when it died? I may have over volted some of your hardware..
