It's because your motherboard doesn't officially support that processor. While Socket AM3 processors, which that is, will work in Socket AM2/AM2+ boards, which yours is, it still requires full support by the motherboard manufacturer else you're going to get that problem.

Because the BIOS is looking up a code in an internal table to find your CPU's name and that code isn't in the BIOS table. The BIOS needs to be updated. It works because the CPU is compatible but the BIOS programmers didn't know about that CPU code when they wrote the BIOS.

Maybe...

but the cpu is not on the support list of the motherboard .. and I'm not sure it will fix a bios update because the latest BIOS update for the G-SURF365 went out 10/10/2009
