AMD mother board not compatible with nvidia gpu? 10 points?

i bought a asus-m5 a88-V evo motherboard tonight at my local fry's, along with a 6 core processor and 12 gb of ram. while my gtx 560 worked just fine only 1 hour earlier in my intel mobo/processor combo i can not even install the drivers now or get the mobo to even detect my gtx 560. is this motherboard just not compatible with my card? keeps giving me the error "This graphics driver could not find compatible graphics hardware" gonna be pissed if i spent $400 tonight and rebuilt my machine just to take it apart again to return this motherboard :'(

Update:

i did clean install the os now how about showing you know what your talking about rather than being a troll

    If you are using an OEM operating system, when you did the fresh install, it will not allow you to install graphics drivers... As your OEM windows was for another motherboard, and cannot be transferred to another "system", without contacting Microsoft...
