Are you sure you don't have a virus? Did you upgrade the bios after you installed the new MB?

Did you switch Just CPU or mobo and CPU? Did you properly install all the MOBO drivers? CPU may not be compatible with the mobo chipset. Check your BIOS settings ... if you don't know what that means, get help or read the manual. You running Windoze XP? It doesnt like chipset changes. Perhaps a re-install is in order.
You really need to provide more information - but not here. There are plenty of tech forums. I really like www.annoyances.org It's a great forum for Windoze users.

i would double check all connection and make sure all the other things that you didnt upgrade is compatiable with the new board, also run disk defrag and do a clean up of junk files....good luck with everything
