Q: Frequent Crashes
2 GHz MacBook Pro i7 15" on 10.8.3. I'm having frequent crashes. First Chrome will do that sad folder-y thing and none of the Chrome fixes have helped. This is the indicator that before too long the whole computer will shut itself down. Computer was in the store in Feb/March and had just about everything replaced - logic board, RAM, etc. I have taken out and put the RAM back in to make sure it was not loose. Once the crashing starts, various programs will then crash until the whole machine does a kernel panic. I have had Chrome, Safari, Mail, and iTunes all crash and give me those huge reports. Here's the last kernel panic log:

System Profile:
Right now I'm getting ready to reinstall the OS but am super worried this won't do it. Any ideas? Happy to pull other reports if someone can direct me to them. The computer worked great for three weeks after I got it back from Apple then started this crashing thing - different than what it was doing before but almost as annoying. So far this has happened about 10 times today to a full reboot.
MacBook Pro, OS X Mountain Lion (10.8.3)
