New processor blues, need help!

Hey, haven't been on in a long time but here's my setup:
Gigabyte GA-MA790X-DS4 (rev 1.0)
2x ATI 3870's
2gb of 1066 Patriot ram
AMD 6400 x2 (current)
500w psu (dual rail 13A)
I want to upgrade to:
AMD Phenom II 920 X4
Other sites suggest bios update, but there are 2 that people suggest, F5 or F6. I've tried both bios updates, neither will post with the phenom.
The motherboard hesitates and makes a slow beep (not the post beep) and thats all it does.
Any help would be greatly appreciated...

When does the motherboard do what you described?
Gigabyte says use F6. You can get it here.
I would suggest a better quality power supply.
