Hi, looking at the CPU support list for this MoBo the Phenom II x 4 945 is the fatest CPU supported. If you go down this route make sure that your bios is up to date (F6C) and it should be OK.
Remember, when all else fails a cup of tea and a good swear will often help! It won't solve the problem but it will make you feel better.
