Greetings,
Your issue may go beyond the scope of the forum, or our ability to provide anything more than suggestions from where we sit.

Your RAM is definitely not on the QVL for this board
Suggest you load set up defaults in BIOS
We don't know what you are trying to install windows to
We don't know what other devices you might have connected
You are using OEM and/or retail install media

Based on the limited information your provided, we can't tell how far you are actually getting with each install.

Windows set up runs, sees your storage device, installs, then fails to load on a subsequent restart.  I believe its important to place value on one's time.  10 yr old hardware. Maybe its time to upgrade.
