Re: Ratdude's Main rig V3.5
KZG's aside I think this is a software issue, do you have the latest BIOS?
I would try XP 32bit, 64bit, Win7 32bit, 64bit
In no particular order.
Also keep in mind several Windows OS have had issues during installation with more than 2/4GB of RAM, so might be useful to remove all sticks bar one during install and let it do all Windows updates then put them back in.
Also in systems like these the mapping of memory above 4GB is very important, there I can't help you with what is correct but trial and error usually solves it, or post what options you have and then I can give some recommendations.
What it basically comes down to is KISS, i.e. remove/disable anything the system does not need to POST, then try install, if it works enable/reinstall things one by one
