SuSE 10.0 boot problems with CPU changed

Hi guys. One of my SuSE Linux 10.0 i586 boxes recently had its AMD XP
2500+ CPU damaged, perhaps by my recent overclocking adventures.

The computer seemed to initiate a thermal shutdown soon after bootup --
sometimes even in/before the BIOS menu at stock speeds -- and the
motherboard (Abit NF7) gave a two-tone siren.

Whilst it is being RMA'ed, I took an old AMD XP 1500+ CPU out to at
least get that box running, if more slowly. The BIOS detects the CPU
alright and when I shelved the 1500+ it was known to work.

Upon booting SuSE, I get a black screen and nothing else.

Does SuSE require a reinstall if the CPU is changed, or is it more
likely that other hardware on the comp. is somehow damaged?
