Upgrading 775 q6600 to q9650

I purchased a Q9650 on ebay and installed it into my GA-EP45-UD3L V1 motherboard.  I updated my BIOS to F9.  My motherboard supports this CPU.  My computer will not boot into BIOS.  Is the CPU bad?  How will I know definitively?  I have also tried removing the CMOS battery.  Have I overlooked something?  I know about thermal paste and cooler fan.  I put back my Q6600 cpu and my system boots fine.  Any idea before I initiate a return on the CPU?
