What version of windows?

Check the ctrl-alt-del taskmanager and see how much CPU ejukebox.exe is using....and are any other programs using more CPU?

the only thing that uses much cpu when you are just playing is: the now playing panel vu meter and the animated backgrounds in the Vinyl Matrix skin. If you are using Vinyl Matrix you can try Tools->Skin->A5 Vinyl. or you can always minimize EJ to stop the animations from running/using cpu.

also, did you put the cpu in the motherboard yourself?
was there thermal grease on top the cpu chip before you put it in?

I doubt the ejukebox is responsible for this. There might be other process using your CPU. If Windows 7, check under "Performance" tab.
