Need help with my new CPU! 5$ Reward

[Ixlds]

So basically, I got a new CPU, the AMD Phenom II X4 Black 3.0ghz 8MB cache CPU. I also researched and it says it's compatible with my motherboard.

My motherboard is Foxconn A74ML-K 3.0.

When I change my CPU in my motherboard, it fits perfect.
However, when I start my computer up, it says;

CPU MISMATCH, FATAL ERROR! System Halt!

And I can't proceed any further, I can't activate BIOS before or after it says that.

I have tried clearing CMOS, I have tried updating BIOS with FoxLiveUpdate and it says it's up to date!

I need help, if anyone actually helps me to get this working, I shall gift you 5$ through paypal, I know it's not much, but hey, you've helped

If you need any further information about this problem, please ask and I will tell you!
Replies will be instant!

You sure that your motherboard? Google finds nothing when typing that in?

Oops, sorry, It's A74ML-K 3.0

Thanks for resolving my problem, but I would have thought I could BIOS update, ahh well, new motherboard it is
Thanks everyone for your help!

The 960T is definitely 95W?
Thanks for all this 'stulid' you've been great help + How do i check?

Yea, the 960T is 95W - so that isn't a problem. The problem is that is a newer core design than the boards BIOS is designed to support - so it won't work. It is possible foxconn will add support for these CPUs with a future BIOS update, but that is increasingly unlikely since AMD are moving to Bulldozer CPUs now.

Yeah I would love to be able to buy a whole new motherboard and i5, but I simply don't have the money, and I'm only an average gamer and ATi 6870 and AMD X4 is more than enough for me

Thanks for all your help, I'm so greatful
