Photoshop, lightroom and aperture quit constantly

Question

hello.
i am a full time photographer now. my macpro is a big part of my business. sometimes i shoot small numbers of photos and can get away with editing one or 2 at a time. other times, like now, i HAVE to edit multiple photos at a single time.
as such, i open 70 3-4mb photos at the same time to run through them quickly and edit them and then save them as i have for a long time on my PC, and photoshop quits. i can be in the middle of editing ONE photo and photoshop quits. if i open bridge, it quits when entering a folder with a large number of files, or a small number... it is sporadic.
i have enclosed a copy of the console log.
i have done all of the following:
1. reset the pram
2. none of my programs are from a PPC, only my .jpegs and.cr2's have been touched by a PPC
3. i have replaced my main hard drive with a raptor
4. i zeroed out the entire hard drive and reinstalled the OS three times now.
5. i have reset the PMU
6. I have gone to the apple store and they told me that leopard will fix this or cs3...
7. i installed the legitimate copy of the CS3 Beta and it does the exact same thing under the same conditions.
8. i have a 150GB Raptor, with about 30GB filled up
9. i have 4 GB of Apple installed RAM
10. i have no "version cue" running in cs2
i have tried the same things on my little MacBook and it NEVER does this. anyone with some experience in working with photoshop would be a welcome help. the console log from macpro is as follows:

Answer 1

so, i went to the apple store tonight and a different genius talked to me and tried to tell me how he ran a whole bunch of processor intensive things on the machine to get it to crash and it didn't.
i answered him pretty straight forward since he is the one who told me there is nothing wrong with it to begin with... i told him "i didn't buy the machine for final cut or any other stuff. i bought it to run Photoshop, and it doesn't. i demonstrated the error repeatedly to the genius i dropped it off with... over and over again. copied the panic files and crash logs, like you told me to, i reformatted the thing and it is doing it again, and now you're trying to tell me there is nothing wrong with the machine? AGAIN? go get the thing and i will show you too and then you can try to fix it..."
then he tried to tell me that my raptor was the problem because he swapped out the hard drive with a crappy one from the sales floor... to which i asked him if he tried to do what i showed them which was causing the problem... and the answer was no. followed by, "but..." and so here i am, now at the point of being vehemently upset - AGAIN.
to be honest, i don't want another replacement machine. i just want the thing to work. i paid $1500+ for photoshop, so it's not like i am trying to run pirated software or any BS like that. if i can't run photoshop on this MAC, then i guess they'll have no choice but to give me another one.
if i wasn't able to reliably duplicate the issue, then i could see why he would try to question me or my methods. but i DID demonstrate it to them reliably. same thing, same situation, same result EACH TIME. all i want is to run photoshop. now i am sure they are going to try to tell me how my raptor is the problem? and that they can run other programs on it???? that is a great big steaming pile of BULLOCKS!!!
no one else seems to have this issue, and i am doing this for a living, not as a hobby anymore, so i kind of need my machine...
