Asus a8m2n-la Phenom triple core

Hello,
My brother gave me his Phenom triple core processor last night to help me speed up my computer. He said it's a AM2 socket and it should work with my current motherboard.

I currently have a Athlon dual core processor and I believe my motherboard is model ASUS A8M2N-LA. It doesn't show as being compatible but the sockets are the same.

I installed it last night and everything seems to turn on the fans and the hard drive but I have no video on the screen. The mouse also isn't connecting either so I know it's more then just a graphics issue. Any ideas?

Not sure if it matters but I am also running a Gforce 560ti, 4 gigs of ddr2, and I upgraded the power supply when I bought the Gforce card. Everything was working fine but I can't get this new processor to work.

Yes it's a hp computer. The processor is the Phenom 8650 and I think I am going to get ASRock N68C-S motherboard. I just hope it fits in the hp a1430n case and everything else is reusable. That way if I go up to a X6 the motherboard will support it. Will this motherboard work with all my other Hp a1430n items?

My current mb is 10x9.2 or something the new one is like 6x6 so it should fit easy right?
