If it's one of the newer CPUs (mobile barton or something) it might need a BIOS update to recognize the chip.

OH, BTW, be careful messing with the BIOS on that board.  The rev 1.0-1.2 NF7 boards could corrupt the BIOS and require a new chip to fix them.  They corrected that issue with the rev 2.0 boards.  It's not hugely likely, but it can happen.
