One of them will relate to your problem but also look at your firewall because of this "DNSSec utilizes UDP DNS packets larger than 512 bytes and many firewalls don't recognize the larger packet size as being legitimate DNS packets" so read this http://technet.micro...y/hh972393.aspx

and this for general guidance if you FW is cisco but just follow the guidelines as it applies to protocol rather than vendor so its based around the Core DNSSEC RFCs are RFC 4033, RFC 4034, and RFC 4035

i've tried these steps but the problem is still !
google dns is working but root hints are not working, when i switch forwarders to 8.8.8.8 i can get to the internet and i've tried to put the root hints IP's in Forwarders tab but still not working too .

It would have taken me two days to test all of that in a methodical manner!! Maybe I am slow and dont know what I am doing anymore?
