I had the same problem with having the BP6 motherboard.  It definately is a 
problem with it not supporting PCI v2.2.  The card fits fine into the MB but 
it just isn't detected.  It's more of a problem with the 250 MCE version 
than the straight 250 as I have a normal 250 which was detected no problem.
