What core is that processor - Northwood or Prescott? Just look at the label on the processor box and find whether it marks the processor as a "Pentium 4 3.0E" or a "Pentium 4 3.0C". If it is a Prescott Core Processor, a BIOS update may be necessary.

it says 'e'.........i also tried to reset the bios with the jumper on mobo

resetting the bios will not update it, you may need a bios update to support the prescott chip
