Yes, the Socket LGA 775, Wolfdale Core 2 Duo E8400, 3.0G, will work fine.

Remember to check that the BIOS have the latest version installed, prior to installing the processor.

What is the computer model and the version of windows that's installed?

Did you update the BIOS to the latest version, before installing the e8600 processor?
