It takes like 10 seconds or so for the windows animation to start up, and the animation will go for like half a second and then gives me the blue screen for like half a second and then turns off and tries to reboot.

First of all, double check that you have the RAM in the right slots (the gray ones). If you are using 4 dimms disregard this.

Secondly, enter your BIOS's frequency voltage menu and enter the memory config. sub-menu. Once inside, set the following parameters:

Memory Speed: Standard (not XMP)
Memory Multi/Div: 2:8 (should then show 1066 MHz)
Go down the page to the first 4 timing adjustment fields and enter the following settings:
CAS-9
tRCD-9
tRP-9
tRAS-24
Then, go down to command rate and set it manually at 2.

Also, verify that your DRAM voltage is set to the manufacturer's specification (generally 1.5 or 1.65v)

Save, attempt to boot into Win. and check back.

I changed it to AHCI and it works now. Thanks you guys for trying to help, i really appreciate it!
