15" Macbook Pro (Mid-2010) keeps spontaneously restarting

All,

I've looked around and found several threads addressing this problem, however, I have tried all the recommended fixes and still have nothing to show for it. Any help would be appreciated. Let me know if there is any more information that you might need to help me out. I'm not too code savy, but I can figure most things out and find an answer when I don't know how (shoutout to youtube).

Back story:

- 4 Months ago, I upgraded to OSX Mavericks from the stock OS (I think Leopard).

- Almost two weeks after I did this it began restarting randomly, wasn't often and happened when I was doing something unimportant (watching a TV show, movie, photo editing) so I didn't mind.

- Two weeks after that, it happened quite often and became an issue almost to the point where I could barely login before it would restart.

- Read around for solutions for about a week, tried those, things went back to normal for a week or so before the problems began again.

- The next week it would restart then get stuck at the apple logo and 'loading wheel', couldn't even get to login.

- Following week I went to the Genius Bar, they came to the conclusion that it was my HD and recommended that I get a new one.

- Went online got a new one and installed it via iFixit guide. Also installed OSX Mavericks via USB install.

- Problem was not solved continued to occur almost identical, nothing bad at first, then increasingly reoccuring.

This brings me to this article post.

I have only installed necessary updates from the Apple Store, Firefox, VLC player, as well as loaded my old files from my external to this one.
