You may need to install some cheapo ram just to get into the BIOS and manually adjust the voltages. Assuming ram is the issue and you can't boot at all.
And what message is the diagnostic LED display giving you?
Also, have you given the PS/2 keyboard a shot?

I'm sorry. I thought it was the M2RSH.

That might have something to do with it. Although even my old SB600 Gigabyte was able to recognize my X3 with the factory BIOS, your DFI may prove to be a little more finicky.
What other processors do you have handy?

Care to elaborate on what you did?

At this point, I'd reflash the BIOS.

It may "read" it, but there may be some underlying issues within the BIOS causing to not post. When you're having issues like this, a BIOS flash is really the only way to go.

I have to agree.
Also, what exactly did you do in the BIOS?
I know with my DFI board it didn't even want to boot at first. i had to strip it down to the bare essentials and use 1 stick of RAM in the orange slot closest to the CPU. It booted up just fine then I added the rest of the stuff and its been working fine ever since.

This happened to me with my current msi diamond board until I found out that they had recently released a new bios update for 45nm processors(this was a while ago) and afterwards it worked flawlessly.

Is it absolutely impossible for you to be able to boot far enough on the 9600 in order to flash it? Perhaps try resetting the cmos yet again for a little longer. Even take out the battery, as well as shorting the jumper on the I/O panel.
Otherwise, I'd look into borrowing a processor from someone, or maybe even getting a cheap sempron. That is of course, last resort. Like Omega said, try stripping it down to only the essentials.
I'd even try running the motherboard outside the case. You'd be surprised what a simple re-seating can accomplish.
