It could be an overheating issue.
Did you install a new fan with that new processor, or are you using the old
one?
If it's the old fan, did you take off the old thermal paste and apply new?
If it's a new fan, is it working properly? did you remember to remove the
plastic from it so the thermal paste is exposed?
