This could be a CPU problem, motherboard problem or BIOS problem. If you bought the MB and CPU from the same dealer I would return both. The BIOS should work with the 6-core CPU. But they might have put the wrong BIOS chip in the MB.
If you can find an older generation AMD CPU you should test the MB with it and try a BIOS upgrade/update.
It's also not unheard of to have a DOA CPU or MB.
I once had a new power supply that would not work with my current build. I swapped it with another computer and they both worked. Returned it to the new computer and it still did not work. I just gave up and used the older supply.
Good Luck
