It would be a lot easier to help you, if you could explain yourself clearly, and in sentences and paragraphs.
You've got a laptop. You're getting blue-screens, and reboots?
Did these happen:
1) Immediately after swapping CPUs?
or
2) Immediately after installing Win10 preview?
or
3) Have been happening off and on for a while, before those two events?
Edit: "No BootMgr" sounds like your HDD is failing. That could also cause BSODs and reboots.
Honestly, buying a new laptop, is the best solution. But if you can't afford that, then that solution is out. I'll help the best that I can, but laptops can be more finicky than desktops, and afford less ability to swap parts.
Edit: Do you have another (working) PC somewhere, that you could use for testing? Does this laptop have a CD or DVD drive? (Hopefully DVD.)
If you have the ability, get a hold of a Linux LiveCD/DVD, and boot that using the DVD drive in the laptop, and trying running SMART self-tests, both SHORT and LONG on the internal HDD.
Edit: I don't understand why you would need to mod the BIOS chip to flash it. Is there an updated flash BIOS version available for your laptop, or not? And why didn't you flash it with the old CPU in? It may be required for stability with the new CPU. That may be your whole problem.
