Kernel Panic - not syncing: VFS: unable to mount root FS on unknown block (0,0)

Second time around, it started to boot with the bars going across the screen and freezes at different points.

CPU Fan is running and power supply was replaced shortly before this problem with a slightly upgraded unit.

Any ideas?
Well if you pulled out the drive and you still have the same problem then its not the drive. Do you have any spare parts to swap around? video card, mobo, proc, etc. That's really the only way to rule out what the issue is now. I used to have about 2 or 3 computers worth of spare parts which really came in handy when stuff like this came up.
