I recently got an old CPU from a friend of mine ( Intel core 2 quad 8200) who upgraded his PC. After checking the compatibility with my MB (P5Q Deluxe) I decided to insert it (my old CPU was an Intel Core 2 Duo 6600). Everything run fine for about 5 minutes and after that I got BSOD. This happened several times and I decided to insert my old CPU back. Now everything runs fine but any program that has to do with video chatting( ex Skype,Curse Voice even Rocksmith) crashes. I checked my Hard Drive for errors but it doesn't seem to find something. I also run DirectX diagnostic tool which indicated that DirectShow could not be openned. What should I do?
Thanks in advance

Just trying to eliminate stuff - a lot of people don't replace the thermal paste, and then overheating causes crashes and other problems. It doesn't fit all your symptoms above, but it fits some, so I wanted to check.

Ok I will try that sometime, my main concern is that I can't use skype or any other video chatting program now that I have my old CPU inserted( which didn't present any problem before I removed it to put the new one). Maybe from the constant BSOD something was damaged and I need to know what.
