Where exactly does the boot process hang and what exactly do you see in front of you when it does?

If you believe it to be an IRQ conflict remove any unneeded expansion cards from your PC.

Enter the BIOS and if possible disable unused legacy ports and assign the freed IRQs to PCI/PnP use. After making the changes, if it's there, enable the "Reset Configuration Data" option so the IRQ routing tables in the CMOS are cleared. Save your changes and exit the BIOS.

it freezes right after the mem count when the screen flashes the all the IRQ info then goes to the windows screen.....it freezes with all the IRQ info on the screen, i dont believe it to be an IRQ conflict as i have not installed any new hardware in quite some time

You tried each RAM module individually, but did you try them in separate DIMM slots?

Try reseating/temporarily replacing your VPU and clearing your CMOS.

Apart from that, the best that I can suggest is to strip your system of everything except the bare essentials and see if it gets further into the boot process. Perhaps someone else will have a suggestion for you.

Unfortunately, you might be experiencing motherboard failure.
