Dual e5450's stuck in auto repair

[Tnab3r]

So ive been putting together a server computer to host some games for my friends and i. It has an supermicro x7dwa-n motherboard with 2 xeon e5335's, which i upgraded to 2 e5450's. i have 32 gigs of ddr2 ecc 667mhz ram, and a gt730 i threw in for video. 
I cant even get into windows 10 pro, just stuck on preparing automatic repair. im able to boot into windows xp pro that came with the system, but i couldnt get lan drivers to work, plus had a password locked admin account. Any help? also, first post, so if you need information, please comment, ill try to provide

 

 

Things I've tried

clear cmos

reset bios

different drive

different version of windows (win10 home wasnt even recognize as bootable, even with 1 cpu enabled)

full power down

reseating ram/cpu's

running win10 pro drive in different computer, works fine

Have you tried a fresh install of windows 7, 8, or 10?

tried windows 10 twice, dont have keys for 7. Both times windows 10 didnt get recognised, suprised it worked this time

you can download a windows 8 iso from microsoft here: https://www.microsoft.com/en-us/software-download/windows8

Also, you could try swapping out the RAM

Did you install Windows 10 from the PC you are working on?

just because it all works in XP and is detectable in BIOS doesnt mean its fine. 

 

RAM is weird that way. wont give u any grief until u do somthing it doesnt like and touches that 1 error on the stick and poof then goes away just as fast.

do yourself a world of good and run it threw 24hours of memtest to be sure.

do u have another computer ? 

memtest doesnt require windows .. its bootable via USB stick
