Swapped CPUs and now computer gets bouts of heavy lag

I swaped my old AM2 Athlon X2 5400+ for a 6000+ and now my computer goes through bouts of freezing up. Some stuff goes through "Not Responding" but it's the whole computer. Task manager and process explorer haven't been much help. I have deleted and auto re-installed the cpu through the device manager. any suggestions as to what might be up?

Also worth noting, Windows 7 Pro.
 
your motherboard might not support it, it can use it but messes up sometimes, can you tell us what the computer or motherboard is?

Also, did you put thermal paste or anything not sure if heat will cause that but anything's possible.
 
The motherboard is an Asus M3A78-EMH HDMI. The processor is shown as supported. I have the newest BIOS revision installed. Thermal paste was applied. After several hours of 100% load backup operations, the cpu temp is 37c. I found some errors regarding Catalyst Control Panel in the even viewer, I am going to be uninstalling it and see if that resolves anything.
 
Catalyst Control Center could be the problem. Make sure you have the most recent driver for your GPU installed.
 
My cpu is supported by the mobo with the BIOS revision I have (1302).

Asus Site

I uninstalled all of the graphic drivers and support applications and let windows use it's ATI supplied default. Set bios to defaults and stopped all start up programs with msconfig.

Issue seems to be resolved with the above. will continue testing and slowly bring things back in to corner the problem.

ATI drivers seem to have random issues all the time. A couple weeks ago, my Core 2 Quad media center rig was randomly freezing every time a system-intensive program was run for ~20 minutes. I checked my temps and voltages and they were both fine. I checked my HDD for errors and there were none. I finally updated the ATI driver for my Radeon HD 5450, and the problem seems to have stopped. Hopefully the same will hold true for you! ;)
