Re-built computer

A few weeks ago, I decided to turn my pc into a specifically for the games. It meant replacing the motherboard, the processor, the sound card and video card. $700 and a day of work, saw this goal achieved, but I didn't anticipate problems I had made myself. None of my games would go because the companies concerned thought I was cheating by using my games on a second computer because of the number of series to appear on another pc. I'm trying to untangle this mess.

Now, you tell me that my copy of Windows & just because of my re - build is not valid.  It's always the same computer, there just different parts. I left my PERFECTLY VALID, copy of PAID for WITH GOOD MONEY IN MY POCKET of Windows 7 on the system, thinking that, because it's only on a pc, it would be acceptable.
So I need your help. I swear to God, my copy of Windows came with a plastic container of the instructions, the disc box and above all, a little tiny number of activation on a label stuck to the area (by the way... why you should print the activation number so ridiculously small;) I am 60 years old and so are my eyes... I have to take the box out in the light of the Sun, so I can read the bloody number!  It is not necessary. ) Now that I've had this little whinge... Help!

Try the phone activation, if that does not work, then run the diaganostic utility at the end of this post.

1) click Start and in the search for box type: slui.exe 4
(2) press the ENTER"" key.
(3) select your "country" in the list.
(4) choose the option "activate phone".
(5) stay on the phone * do not select/press any option * and wait for a person to help you.
(6) explain your problem clearly to the support person.
(7) the person must give you a confirmation ID, copy it down on paper,
(8) check that the ID is correct in reading the support person.
(9) to enter the ID number, then click 'Next' to complete the activation process.

  • Several BSOD on newly built computer, windows 7

    Hello

    This month of September, I built a new computer with the following parts:

    Processor with dual-core Intel Core i3-4130

    Noctua NH - L9i CPU Cooler

    Gigabyte GA - H87N - WIFI Mini ITX LGA1150 motherboard

    Asus GeForce GTX 660 2GB video card

    Antec Neo Eco 620W 80 + Bronze certified ATX power

    Windows 7 Home Premium

    A few days after that I got all of the courses, I had my first BSOD. Since then, I got 7 BSOD. I shared them here:

    Chkdisk, memtest86 and file system scanner were all negative. However, today, I tried to run the checker driver with the following parameters:

    Start > type "auditor" without quotes > select the following options.

    1. select - 'create a custom settings (for code developers).
    2 select - "choose custom a complete list settings.

    5 click the 'supplier '. This will cause the sorting of all drivers by the provider.
    6 check EACH box that is NOT provided by Microsoft / Microsoft Corporation.
    7 click Finish.
    8 restart.

    This proved without error. However, when I tried to run to the Verifier again with EVERYTHING checked, he started a BSOD loop. I started in Mode safe, disabled driver verifier and then to go and check my MiniDump, but there was no news. DMP file there. I don't know why.

    I really hope this isn't a hardware problem, since I just bought all these parts recently. The computer also works great otherwise. As far as I know, the BSOD seems to happen when I leave the computer for more than 72 hours straight.

    If someone could please help me out, I'd be very happy.

    Disconnect all devices from nonessentials, connected to your computer except for the mouse and keyboard.
    In addition, disconnect all internal storage devices except the storage device target (your SSD) where you will install Windows 7 on. You can re - reach after installation.

    Also, try to reduce the amount of RAM installed on one stick or 1 GB of RAM and see if the installation is complete. If successful, you can add the rest of the memory after.

  • Is it possible to move a hard drive between a newly built computer that currently has no hard drive.

    The old computer was a Dell 8200 demension.  It is the power supply is dead and its processor was 8 years, so I decided to build a new.  I have a backup of the system on a USB hard drive. I have also all my important files backed up.  I realize that the old HD and his backup, both, all dell settings and drivers.  I'm not trying to circumvent the licensing rules.  I'm willing to pay Microsoft.  Should I buy a new drive with XP SP3 pro/c.  I hesitate to switch windows 7 yet.
    Thanks for any info.

    You must buy a new XP Pro and install it on the new computer. Transfer your data from the old disk to the new. You can then format the old drive and use it for extra storage if you wish. MS - MVP - Elephant Boy computers - don't panic!

  • All THE USB and LAN peripheral PS2 not to start on home-built computer Windows 7

However, arriving at the start screen with the power of "Starting Windows" title, the mouse and the keyboard down and do not react despite reconnected. Tried with another PS2 Keyboard and mouse. LAN also stops working. Any help on this would be greatly appreciated.

  • Detail of computer Vista Business 32 lost in hurricane. How can I reinstall and activate Vista to the new computer and use the backup image to restore files and programs on the new computer?

    Home built computer with Vista installed detail. I always have backups who intend to reinstall on the machine even if the HDD or MB went bad. Full image backup was on the hard drive of withdrawal which do not damaged. Never planned to lose computer any wave of sandstorm. I reinstalled on the same computer successfully before but never tried to migrate to a new computer.  Cannot uninstall Vista from your old computer, because it was submerged in salt water and died. I am not very well informed, but I can follow directions.  Thank you.

    You don't have to worry about uninstall on the destroyed computer, because it is not usable.

    And no message is sent when you uninstall any computer anyway.

    When you perform the Activation on the new computer, if you have problems of activation to the phone option I have included and do not take the road to auto answer, but brace yourself for a real person to talk to you.

  • I need to uninstall everthing on my computer

    I need to uninstall everything on my computer - lose all folders and so on, because I appaerantly have a virus or a bug that makes my folders and hide documents. I'm not serious of them - but I don't know how to reset / uninstal my computer.
    Any help?

    Most laptops and many OEM desktop computers (HP, Sony, etc.) come with a picture of factory restore on a special partition on the hard drive. The factory restore process is normally called by pressing a key of function (such as F11) to start the computer. There will be a message as to what function key press the screen when you start your computer. You can also consult the manual of your computer or the computer mftr.'s site, or contact technical support to learn how to restore your computer if you plant from each computer mftr. He does it differently - sometimes even between models.

    These machines also generally have a utility to create physical recovery disks in case the hard drive needs to be replaced or the factory restore image is somewhat damaged. If you have not created the recovery image recovery physical and/or damaged disks, contact technical support of computer mftr. to order a set of recovery disks. It is normally very expensive, around $20-25.

  • How do I place my computer to power on when I open the lid

    I want my computer to turn on when I open the cover, how do I set this up

    Hello and welcome to Microsoft Answers.

    Most laptops are already built to wake up from sleep, if you open the lid, but there is a bit of a plug: it depends on the depth of a computer's sleep is in.  If the computer is shutdown completely and totally turned off the power, open the lid will not (usually) turn it on.  This would be the manufacturer which built computer (they will have to build a hardware device which detects the opening and then triggers the power).  Why WIndows can't he do?  Well, Windows is not running, so the manufacturer will have to incorporate the functionality of the physical case itself.
    Windows peut wake the computer when he sees the open lid if the computer is simply sleep, because (without getting too technical here), even in "standby mode" there are still a few 'consciousness' to the rest of the system (Windows is, in some form of tiny, still active).
    I'm sorry if this isn't meet your direct desire to turn on, but perhaps it sheds light on why this is the case.
    PS. for what it's worth, I use only mode "Eve".  Unless there is an update requiring a full reboot, my laptop never actually gets "shut down."  Sleep in Windows 7 is very efficient and reliable, and I would recommend giving it a try.
  • Installation of Windows OEM 7.1 of the drive on the new computer

    I bought a new HP Envy of Costco 750qe with operation system Windows 10 because it came with a graphics card from Nvidia with 4 GB of Ram, nice Intel core i7 and 24 GB DDR 3 Ram. My first computer was a KayPro 10 CPM and over the past 15 years, I had a computer shop build me a new computer in the same case during this period. There has never been a problem with the installation of my OEM version of the current operating system... 98, XP, skipped VISTA and 7.1 that is clean and stable through time, using the phone to turn back on, to make my new Tech. I learned that this may have changed.

    By elsewhere, for someone who has used a computer for years, push us to go on the computers that try to mimic the smart phones are a pain. This will be my last measure as I will be 70 in August. I have set up with the weird changes in Windows 10 since 15 December and as a graphics person working with the Photo app is horrible. I managed to reinstall your old Windows thanks to the useful online photo viewer: www.intowindows.com but I draw the line at having to go in Power Shell myself when a clean reinstall of the 7.1 will serve for my purposes, even if I have to reinstall all my programs.

    I have my drive and I'm ready to back everything up and the Tech comes to reinstall. Can I legally do or should I buy another 7.1? I pulled the computer store because they have changed hands and did weird things with my custom built Computer Graphics, also Pro 7.0 on disk, updated to 7.1 online and which will require a total rebuild in a new business with better ventilation and a SSD using a disc. So my question also applies to the other my computer as well.

    Thanks, Sharon

  • Latest version of Firefox does not work on Win 7 64 bit

    Downloaded the latest version of Firefox and installed on my newly built computer Win 7 64 bit. When I click on the shortcut of Firefox, it absolutely nothing happens. No processes appear in the Task Manager, nothing. Googled the question and I tried many patches recommended without result. At a loss on how to fix, Firefox is unusable at this point.

    In the case where the program files were damaged during installation, you can try:

    Clean reinstall it

    (A) download a fresh Installer for Firefox 41.0.1 of https://www.mozilla.org/firefox/all/ in an ideal location. (Scroll down your preferred language).

    (B) delete the folder of the current program to:

    C:\Program Files (x86)\Mozilla Firefox
    

    (C) run the installer downloaded to (A). I'm NOT suggesting it as an administrator.

    Any improvement?
