If the link below is your board you shouldn't have any problems dropping that E5200 in there. Just to be safe update to a current bios before upgrading the CPU.

yes the link u have displayed is my motherboard

but i used the "Intel® Processors and Boards Compatibility Tool" and found this link below

http://processormatch.intel.com/COMPDB/SearchResult.aspx?BoardName=DQ965GF

which show all the processors which are compatable with this board but i could not find the E5200

I would go with one of the CPU's on the compatibility chart. The E5200 may still work but will be unsupported.

well do u think a bios update for the motherboard would fix the problem??

and would enable it to support the E5200

Unless that compatibility chart is out of date you would gambling, taking a chance.
