Nvidia card wont work

To put it simple, I flashed my bios to 1604 and it worked well for the phenom II X4 BE on my M3A32-MVP-Deluxe motherboard but my nvidia 280 gtx card will not show video and the fan will not spin, I keep getting three beeps when turning on the computer with this video card. However when I use my 9600 gt card I have no problems with this bios update to support my new processor. Is there anything I can do to fix this so I can get my nvidia 280 gtx card to actually work with the phenom II X4 BE?.


I am running my phenom 9850 BE with my M3A32-MVP-Deluxe and my nvidia 280 gtx card fine, so I know for sure that my video card is not at fault, so I am trying to figure out why the Phenom II X4 955 BE won't work with my 280 card but my 9600 gt card will?. It's really mind boggling to me.

Here is the setup I'm trying to get working at the moment:

Asus M3A32-MVP-Deluxe Motherboard.

Phenom II X4 955 (HDZ955FBK4DGI) 3.2ghz, 125w, rev, c2, socketAM3, Quad Core.

Nvidia EVGA 280 GTX Card. <--- Won't work with this setup, I don't know why!.

Corsair, 1066 DDR2 (8)Gigs total.

700watt OCZ pro active power supply.

Yup both are plugged into the video card, and no we haven't cleared CMOS. It's really strange that my video card is working fine with the same setup just a different processor but whenever we put the Phenom II X4 955 in the 280 gt card will not move or show display on the screen.


Would you recommend me clearing the CMOS?, and if so do we need to clear it before flashing our new bios or after or does it matter either way?.
