I removed the cpu, and reapplied thermal paste and now it boots at

install XP with the BIOS set to load fail-safe defaults beforehand and
with minimal devices, just video, and on board sound and NIC if desired/
enabled

if it boots then it should be able to load windows if the BIOS is set
correctly and the ram is decent quality
