Ok guys I just recieved a cpu today that I baught from ebay to make an old computer faster... now i have fitted it and it showing as everything a ok in bios and windows BUT asoon as i launch a game or 3D benchmarks it gets to about second test and the system will shutoff and reboot :/

What do you guys think is the issue? i have tryed another psu and it does the same. even though the motherboard was baught not to long ago i am going to cheak the capistors and try a new fan.
