Strange, because all the PCI Express 2.1 cards are backward compatible with Pci Express 1.0 slots. Are you sure that there wasn't any problem with the card?

Just return your current 5670 and get a new one, btw which psu you have, if you have a generic psu then get fsp saga 500w @2.2k, and if you have a good branded psu than in your budget go for hd5770, jst return your current gpu and add some money to get hd5770@ 7.5k

Then try to get a nvidia 9800gt and see if it works, if 9400gt have worked on your mobo then 9800gt should also work
, but tell which psu and monitor you have as 9800gt has high power consumptio.
