No the surge protector worked fine! it was the mobo stand off screws! I cant believe i overlooked them. I took them out and everything worked fine now.

Yep, you should have ONLY the mobo standoffs that you actually are going to put screws into. All the rest have to come out, or you'll start shorting things out and possibly fry components.
Setting SATA to AHCI mode enables all the cool new features of SATA which actually make it fast. If you leave it at IDE mode then it won't really be any better than UDMA133.

Should I be manually setting DRAM Clock Skews? What's there to gain? Better read/write/copy speeds?

OK, AHCI is enabled.
__________________How long does Vista 64 take to install?? It seems that it hangs for a while and then it finally gets to the next part of the installation. Makes me wonder if i did not set up the BIOS properly or something?
