Check the rights on the machine for the new account.
Might need to give it more rights. Quick check is to add it to the local admin group on the box SQL is running on.
The services do not require admin privelages. Giving the service account eleveated rights is not a best practice.
Agreed - However when troubleshooting it can help rule out permissions issues. Wouldn't advise leaving it like that.
