That motherboard doesn't support Xeon CPUs:

It definitely needs the latest BIOS update to even think about trying to install windows 10 on it:

And even then, it's not likely to be Windows 10 compatible at all.

At userbenchmark.com I see an overclocked X5460 running on that MB there at the top of the list, and it's overclocked to 3.8GHz.

The 250W PSU is pretty light for overclocking a 120W CPU. Might not have enough 5V. power. Some older boards need more there. I would look for a PSU with 350W for a basic GPU, and add power for every GPU PCIe connector needed. +75W 6pin, +150W 8pin. I would ask at ASUS how much 5V. it needs. But I like to see at least 18A on the 5V. rail.
Here's the site for the Xeon mod. If you don't have the correct microcode it may not be recognizing the CPU correctly'

There's help at OCN for Xeon swaps also.
