Your "friend" didn't do his homework. The QX9650 doesn't work on the 6 series boards, only the new 7 series (780i, and 790i in Q1/2008).
I'm not entirely sure, but I think there's a beta BIOS going around for the 45nm processors on your board, not sure where to find it. The next BIOS is...

No surprise, but I'm not getting any help over at AT.
