CPU upgrade problem

I run an Asus P5L-VM1394 motherboard with 4gb ddr2 ram & an Intel e4400 core duo cpu. I've upgraded today with an E6600 3ghz core duo cpu. According to Asus, the cpu is supported. I've also updated to BIOS to the latest version but with the new cpu, I get a boot failure with the message that overclock/overvoltage failed, cpu ucode error.

I gather this is usually due to bios not supporting the cpu, but in my case, the mobo manufacturer states it is and I'm up to date! I can get to windows via f2 on the post screen, but if I restart, it all begins again. Stuck.
