the ram may be burnt out

get some new ram or borrow a friends:)
try burning the latest version of your bios to a disc and see if you can then install it at boot, this might return your bios settings to default and thus allowing you to boot up with your original ram configuration

if your ever able to boot into windows again run memtest
