Hey. So I changed the processor in my notebook from a intel celeron B820 to Intel i3 2350m. I reapplied the thermal paste (I used arctic silver arctic alumina) and rebooted the computer ( same windows install). I tried ran prime95 cpu test but it shut itself off after 25-30min ( i never got higher than 85C and max temp is 100C) so last night I left it on all night and it shut it self off after a couple of hours. Any suggestions? should I reinstall windows?

But it shuts itself off after a couple of hours. I was watching a twitch stream and after a 2-3 hours, it just powered off.

It's probably incompatible with the chipset.

Power Supply? Maybe in those with i3s you have switched power supplies.
