Huge drops in gaming performance after taking out my CPU then putting it back in

So I stupidly bought a new processor that didn't fit my mobo. After realizing this, I put back in my old one and booted up my computer. After this, I booted up XCOM 2 (which normally runs pretty well) at an abysmal frame rate. Civ 6 also couldn't even make it past the loading screen after 5 minutes of waiting.

Its temperature idles at around 40-45celcius, and jumping up to 50-65celcius in-game (XCOM).

I'm not sure what could be causing this as I didn't actually change anything. My system is Windows 10 with an i3-4130 CPU @ 3.40GHz
