After doing this for about a minute it boots default.the post screen don't write anything during this period
I posted the following settings to assist Chris POST:

I would suggest you leave the CPU at stock settings [3.0Ghz @ 333FSB], dial in your RAM at 7-7-7-15 1.81v and leave everything else at auto. Set the RAM divider to 1:4 333 and make sure the + 0.5 multiplier is disabled. Try installing Windows again and let us know what develops.

He is using the same RAM as me, so if I were you I'd change the 15 to a 21 and the 1.81v to the stock voltage for your RAM and give it a go.
