your mobo is probably not compatible with the mobo

check Dell's website to see if there is a bios update or something for the board

Indeed I see nothing that indicates he could use any Quad Core AMD Phenom CPU.
Here are the Processor types that his board is compatible with

AMD Athlon™ 64 X2 dual-core processor
AMD Athlon 64 processor
AMD Sempron™ processor

n430 chipset doesn´t support phenoms. Hope you didn´t fry mobo.
You need a new board that is certified for 9950 aka 140W CPUs.

Here´s some options (only few opts couse it´s mATX):
