possibly overheating, make sure thermal paste and fan (if you are air cooling) were applied to the CPU
also make sure your motherboard supports all your hardware

Can you use a larger CPU than is required by the motherboard without conflict?
You can but your CPU will probably not go as fast as it should. The motherboard has a system crystal that has a clock. The speed of the clock is called the frontside bus speed. A CPU uses a multiplier to make the CPU go faster. For instance if the frontside bus is 100MHz and the CPU has a multipier of 5, then the CPU will operate at 500MHz. So, if you use a CPU that is larger than what the motherboard requires the front side bus, which is dictated by the type of motherboard may be slower that what your CPU is supposed to see so it will run slower. Hope this helps, if you have any questoins leave it on my message board.
