Oki, i tested it !!
At default setting the memtest give me errors (lot).
At fsb 166-175 i´m free of error, and at 175-185 i have very very few
errors.
Sniff...could it be the compatibility of the memory? the cpu do not work
rigth? the mother?

What I would do at this point is to pull out my trusty oscilloscope and
start looking at waveforms. However, let's take the simpler approach.
First, lets see how stable it is under the simplest of circumstances.
So, boot it using memtest86 and let it run for several hours until it
can pass mtest86.
You didn't say in your original posting if you ever ran a memory test,
so let's start there. Set all the BIOS settings to default. load it
with all your memory and just see how stable it is running the complete
memory test for several hours. If that works then it is unlikely that
the windows problems you are having has anything to do with memory.
If you fail mtest86, then you've got a memory problem. Next, can you
find a stable operating point so that it does run mtest86 without
errors? This might involve slowing the bus down below 400MHz, adding
half a wait state to CAS, raising the I/O voltage, or some combination
of these. However, the first task is to figure out where it is stable.
You might try one RAM stick and 350MHz. Set CAS to 2.5 or to 3.
