Please provide further details about your system.

Depending on the upgrade, a Windows reinstall would probably help more than you would think. If it was a drastic upgrade or swap, there is a good chance there are inconsistencies with the install and your new processor. I've swapped processors many times and sometimes it works fine, sometimes it doesn't, and the times it doesn't, I get problems similar to what you're experiencing along with bluescreens or other odd things. At the very least, do a repair install of Windows and see if that settles it down.

More details and your findings.

(1) install latest BIOS for the MB, especially if the CPU you installed first appeared after you bought the MB (or computer containing the MB).

(2) There are a million fails that hang restart. For example, this one was bad power supply. http://www.tomshardware.com/forum/20763-63-windows-install-fails-restart This one was fixed when *not* plugged thru UPS. http://www.dslreports.com/forum/r23255484-WIN7-Win-7-hangs-on-restart etc. Crazy stuff..

This is the technique for looking for software that is not compatible wiht your new CPU: http://support.microsoft.com/kb/929135 If clean boot restarts OK then add services back in until you find the one that caused the problem.

This thread also suggested "Win7 keeps event logs on boot, sleep, wakeup. You might get some hints from there.

Since the last thing you did was add a new CPU reload all MB chipset drivers in hope that something gets reset when they install.
