Just upgraded my CPU, 1066 FSB 2.4GHZ to 1333 FSB 3.0 GHZ
Newegg.com - Intel Core 2 Duo E6600 Conroe 2.4GHz 4M shared L2 Cache LGA 775 65W Dual-Core Processor - Processors - Desktops

Not exactly a ridiculously huge quantum leap in hardware but I'm suddenly having some instability issues especially in high power games (world or warcraft, team fortress). Game ran fine on Desktop for 2 hours before starting a game then I had a series of crashes.
I don't run anything overclocked. Voltages in bios are set to "AUTO." Memory timings AUTO. Most things are set to default or auto. The SLI memory setting in BIOS is set to CPU OC 0% so the SLI is enabled but the CPU isn't getting overclocked. PCIe speeds are set to 100 which is default.
Any ideas of things I could try to improve stability? Any obvious incompatibilities?
Thanks.
My specs for the record:
EVGA 122-CK-NF68-AR LGA 775 NVIDIA nForce 680i SLI ATX Intel Mobo
CORSAIR XMS2 2GB (2 x 1GB) 240-Pin DDR2 SDRAM DDR2 800 (PC2 6400)
700 Watt Thermaltake PSU
EVGA 768-P2-N831-AR GeForce 8800 GTX 768MB 384-bit GDDR3 PCI Express x16
