Windows 7 OEM re-activation after upgrading RAM (-2G)

Hello

I have a computer laptop lenovo, and a cleaning set up using the OEM through the DVD license from digital river. (Win 7 Home premium)
Use it for awhile, I upgraded my RAM (-2G), then I'll have an invalid activation message.
I thought this only happens when I change my motherboard, but sometimes also the RAM upgrade (+ 2G)?
I heard that I had to call someone to fix it, but can't find the right number.
Could someone help me on the number? or another way to solve this problem?
Best,
HW

  • Why Windows Aero does not work after upgrade RAM?

  • Windows 7 Home Premium x 64: activation of the service Windows Update crashes my computer after upgrade RAM

    A few days ago I had two sticks of 2 GB GSkill RAM by mail. Here's the same brand, model and size as the pair currently installed (obviously). (Sticks alternate according to the specifications of the card from my mother)

    After you have installed the new RAM and the computer starts up, it freezes within about 30 seconds of connection. Before installing the new sticks, I had no problem whatsoever.

    My first thought is that I sit the RAM properly, then I go and reinstall it. I start, and the same thing happens.

    So obviously this RAM must be bad, right? When I take out news, not gel. Ah, but when I remove the OLD stuff and use new instead, I ALSO no gel. So maybe it is not the RAM.

    Then I reboot in safe mode. No gel. Interesting. I opened the window 'System' and it says "memory (RAM) installed: 4.00 GB ', which is correct." I opened CPU - Z, and it reports also 4 GB of memory. I run a few hours and have no problems whatsoever. So I say to myself, there must be either a Windows service or a 3rd party service is causing the issue and not the new RAM.

    I disable all services of 3rd parties and restart in normal mode. It freezes. OK, so maybe (though unlikely) I have a virus any (I say probably not because I have to) run the module additional firefox NoScript, and set to block all flash, javascript, xss, iframes, etc. - in other words, only allow to my whitelist and B) I have Windows Firewall and running McAffee and updated.). But I decided to first try Windows services for the hell of it.

    So I enable only the services that start in safe mode as my reference, disabling the rest via services.msc. I start normally and not gel. Great, then maybe it is a Windows service. I start which allows one service after another without any problem. I get to the bottom of the list and select the Windows Update service. Within literally 10 seconds my computer crashes. Large.

    As a validation test, I put all services back to the base line of safe mode and only allow Windows Update. I start normally, and again once it freezes.

    Another test of validation, I start with all normal, but disable Windows Update. Do not freeze. I'm going to start Windows Update. Yet once, it freezes for about 10 seconds. So clearly something is in place.

    As a third and final sanity check, I remove the new RAM and run a Windows Update. He finds a few optional updates, but not critical. My system is up2date.

    My only attempt to solve this problem so far was to backup all Windows Update DLLs (C:\windows\system32\wu*.dll, although I don't know if these are good) and do a scan sfc to replace them with copies of 'good '. It did not work.

    So my question is:

    Why cares Windows Update that I have 4 GB of memory installed?

    Thank you

    1. I 'upgraded' from the RC of Windows 7 x 64 for Win 7 x 64 Home Premium.

    2. I use McAfee VirusScan Enterprise 8.7.0i, DAT version 6060, Scan Engine 5400.1158

    3 No.

    4. No, I put together this computer myself.

    ______________________

    To answer my previous posts:

    I think the USB storage is a separate issue. And.

    I think I * may * have solved the problem of origin with one or more of the following (don't know who):

    • Updated the software of the chipset of the card from my mother.
    • Updated HD Windows audio drivers to the recommended ASUS (Realtek) HD audio drivers
    • Updated since Windows installed NVIDIA display drivers for version NVIDIA WHQL.
    • Increased my tRFC (refresh time of line) to 70 52 clocks clocks. Set my GSKILL DRAM voltage recommended by 2.1V. Off the SPD DRAM configuration (I read that ASUS is not entirely based on the SPD and can affect things on its own).

    I had WU for 20 minutes from writing this post without a freeze, so we'll see. (Previously, it would freeze within 10 seconds of turning on WU)

  • Windows 7 OEM itself activated after update

    My HP laptop was purchased in September 2010 and I did a windows update yesterday and its lost its settings in windows 7.  Wants a code for activation but the sticker dissipated.  If I contact someone with prrof of purchase to find the code?  I have all the packages and original invoices.

    Try to do a restore of the system before you start, facing this problem.

    How do I Do a System restore in Windows 7 or Windows Vista ...

    Option 1:

    If the COA sticker is damaged, you must use the recovery partition to reinstall Windows 7, it will be exempt from the need to use the product key to activate your installation of Windows 7.

    Option 2:

    If your recovery partition is not available or damaged, you must contact the manufacturer of your computer, and request that a defined recovery disk you can use to reinstall Windows 7. They could practice a small shipping and handling. This will exempt the need to also use the product key.

    Option 3:

    If neither options 1 or 2 is possible, then you will need to invest in a new license of full version of detail.

    New computers coming often pre-installed with Windows 7 have what is called a recovery partition. This is used to reinstall an operating system in the case of a system failure. To access it, you need to start when you start your computer by pressing a function key. This can be either F1, F2, F9, F10, F11, F12 key DEL or tab. See the manual that came with your PC for instructions on how to reinstall Windows.

    This is how the recovery partition is accessible to most popular brands...

    For HP, press F11 directly after switching on the device

    Hi guys

    my laptop Specs: Satellite C660-1JG

    -Intel® Celeron® Processor T3500
    -2048 MB of RAM DDR3 (800 MHz).

    recently I increase my RAM to 4 GB (2 + 2 GB), since its installation, as soon windows7 64 bit beginning of loading, finished with BSOD. load BSOD Windows sometimes very well, but in a minute or two appears. I can confirm that it does not read the total RAM of 4 GB, I checked while the laptop was about 2 to 3 minutes ON. then I go out 1 RAM stick laptop is fine, no BSOD!

    so question raises if the RAM is at fault, incompatibility etc, but I have the dual boot OS and other OS is Ubuntu 11. who reads the 3.84 GB RAM and without crashing or BSOD or any question.

    Then I installed Windos 7 32 bit to see if that still has problems with 4 GB of RAM, but NO, 32 bit reads RAM 4 GB (usable 2.8 GB). without crashing or BSOD with 32, only problem with windows 64-bit version!
    I checked the specification it says Max RAM 4 GB Ram and yes it supports 4 GB RAM with Linux and win7 32-bit.

    I tried to update BIOS version 1.20 (currently on 1.40), but still got error: Firmware has no support of Flash (AFUWINGUI).
    I was wondering if any of you can guide me to the right direction.
    Thanks in advance

    I can't say for sure, but perhaps BSOD due to a compatibility issue.

    steps to follow:

    1. I tried with 1 socket by using only a RAM, screen black

    2. I tried with 2 socket using RAM only one with the same RAM step 1, screen black

    3. I tried step 1 and 2 using the other RAM, screen black

    now here it gets interesting

    4 tried 1 socket using Original/factory RAM, screen black

    5 tried 2 socket using Original/factory RAM, screen black

    6. tried without any RAM at all, looks like a lack of RAM, screen black

    Now, to each measure adopted, I must say that the screen sound not only not showing things, but its totally black as it does at all, until the system starts normally. !

    Is it Possible the upgrade of RAM affect the screen? or maybe when I was replacing the RAM I hit some conecting by cable to screen or something?

  • How upgrade to 64 bit Win 7 after upgrade Ram 6 GB on 3250br Pavilion DM1?

    I m going to upgrade 6 GB memory on my Pavilion DM1 3250br. Although windows indicate it is 64-bit capable windows anytime update installed 32-bit (because it has less than 2 GB available).

    1. How should you proceed to upgrade to 64-bit after upgrade memory? I don't have a system disk, only the suplyed key home premium by HP.

    2 HP has 64-bit for all devices drivers? They are in D: recovery drive or I´ll need to download the upgrade?

    3. any information you want to give.

    Best regards

    Eduardo

    Hi, Eduardo:

    You can try it.

    I know it works if you have a retail upgrade key which means that it is good for 32 or 64 bit.

    I don't know an ISO file that you get off the internet is an OEM file.

    If this is the case, it will not work. If this isn't the case, I doubt it will be.

    I have dealt only with the installations of Windows 7 using OEM disks or retail upgrade.

    Basically, the key that you use must be the same as the installation disc.

    OEM disc / ISO good with the key on the bottom of your portable forest 32 or 64 OEM.

    Plenty of retail disc / ISO only good with the full commercial product key, you get the box or the e-mail sent to you - 32 or 64 bit.

    The retail upgrade disc / ISO only good with the retail upgrade key, you get in the box or the e-mail sent to you - 32 or 64-bit.

    Upgrade Express disc / ISO only good with the upgrade retail or upgrade Express key - 32 or 64-bit if you have a disk.

    I used a disk of 64 bit Vista Business anytime upgrade to upgrade Vista Home Premium 64 bit update, and I was able to use the key from Vista Business 32 bit provided with the 32-bit disk (I had a 32-bit Vista Business retail box update but they come only with discs of 32 bits at the time and you had to order a CD of) 64-bit and pay $10. You can't even not the disks in 64-bit vista to MS.

    Hope this helps,

  • Buy Windows 7 OEM and hardware to upgrade one old PC

    I have a computer running windows XP Pro and want to upgrade the hardware and software.

    I intend to replace the memory and the hard drive, now in the old days, they told me by Microsoft Licensing, it was ok for that but it was in the days of XP.

    Microsoft changing licenses so want to make sure that it is always ok.

    I don't want to run Windows 8, as is the new VISTA.

    I'm not worried about my files that I intend to install fresh and they can be transferred from the old drive.

    Nor am I worried about being locked to the PC once activated.

    The OEM of Windows 7 versions are identical to the versions commercial full license with the following exception:

    -OEM versions don't offer any free direct support from Microsoft technical support Microsoft

    -OEM Licenses are tied to the computer first you install and activate it on

    -OEM versions allow all hardware upgrades except for an upgrade to a different model motherboard

    -OEM versions does not move directly from an older Windows operating system

    So I recommend that you first install the new hardware, then proceed with the installation of Windows 7 on new material.

  • Satellite A660 - 10 X - no boot after upgrading RAM 8 GB, but 4 GB + 2 GB only

    Hello

    Today I bought two sticks of Kingston 4 GB DDR3 1066 MHz CL7 and I'm trying to replace my 2 GB ones, but something is wrong.

    If I put two sticks of 4 GB laptop does not start. I have the latest version of the BIOS (1.80). I have restored the default settings after upgrade.

    But it's quite strange, because if I put a strip of 4 GB and a 2 GB stick system starts and everything is fine (with memtest86 + too). But there is still one thing: 4 GB stick should be rolled in the dock before, above second, 2 GB module. If I reverse cell phone memory will not start again.

    Is - everyone knows how to solve my problem? Is this a BIOS problem? BIOS version which A660 takes in charge the amount of 8 GB of RAM with no problems? I can downgrade from the BIOS, because I don't know if Toshiba help update.

    Thanks in advance.

    Is this exact module the same 4 GB RAM listed on THIS page?

I kept it in a journal of all keys that, over time, I bought, but I don't have the disks. MS has retained this page to download Windows 7 when you plug the key, I have confirmed here that the key is always good. I have an old SSD to sell with it, too. So it is possible to sell safe key with the SSD because it has never been activated?

    Yes, you can, as long as this is not enabled.

  • Windows 7 OEM re-activation with re-replacement HD

    My current hard drive is in strange and I would replace it temporarily all trying to fix it.  I have two questions:

    (1) I'll be able to activate my Windows 7 OEM new temporary hard disk?

    and especially:

    (2) if I am able to activate Windows on the new drive, I'll be able to put my original hard drive, once it is fixed, in my computer and "re-install" the activation code on this HD previously enabled?   I no longer need it on the temporary disk.

    Thank you
    Karen

    There is not need - and no point - to 'disable' Windows before installing a new drive (or a new machine)

    Such a procedure is relevant that when you change the product key on the current installation, as no changes only occur on the Server Activation of Ms. MS senior officials also suggest that the procedure is actually dangerous!

    Unless you use recovery media from the manufacturer for the new installation, you MUST use the product key of the COA sticker or your full license to install retail package - if you try to use the key found a tool Keyfinder, chances are that it will not work.

  • Problem on Windows after upgrading RAM

    I have 6 years, Alienware m11x R.2 running Windows 7 x 64 SP1. Since the ole ' computer is still alive and kickin. I thought I'd do a quick refresher on the RAM for an inexpensive upgrade.

    I'm not an expert but to build my own PC and was demolished and rebuilt this laptop particular (among others) several times. The upgrade of RAM has always been something that requires very little attention or other planning that by ensuring that you have compatible specifications.

    I upgraded the RAM this laptop came with a year after the purchase of a Kingston Hyper-X. www.newegg.com/.../Product.aspx

    I remember having no problem with the installation of this RAM and it was perfectly fine since then.

    A few weeks ago, I ordered the DDR3L RAM, after starting the computer difficulties, I realized the error, but also said that the RAM must remain compatible with 1.5V power outlets. But maybe it was a compatibility problem, so I returned it regularly DDR3 RAM, shown here. http://www.Newegg.com/product/product.aspx?item=N82E16820231582

    Outside the actual size of RAM I don't see any other difference with specifications.

    Here's the problem: when I install the new RAM I asked to do a startup repair. No matter if I select run repair or normally I get sent to windows startup. This repeatedly. When I re - install the old RAM is the same screen, but I'm able to start or I can choose to run the repair. (I did both.) This happens with DDR3 and DDR3L RAM. No difference.

    I have triple checked that the RAM is installed correctly and BIOS sees all the 16 gb.

    Advice and assistance is appreciated. Thank you.

    Original title: bitllocker Windows 7 issue

    Hello

    I recently updated my motherboard, processor and RAM, but I kept my original 500 GB hard drive, and equipped with a hard drive 2 TB extra, after the upgrade, I downloaded windows 7 ultimate 64-bit. After the upgrade I plugged my external hard drive (which has all my stuff important on it, that is to say the photo, video etc.) to realize that I had he encrypted with bitlocker on my old sysem. It allows Me to enter my password, it looks for a USB flash drive key, I did not. My question is:

    Can I replace my old system with the old motherboard, hard drive and the original RAM to remove the external hard drive for bitlocker?

    I still have the file windows.old on my hard drive, I have to restore it and remove the most recent version of windows 7 off the drive. I do this before I rebuild my old PC? I'm stuck here and would not lose all my photos (the wife would kill me!) I would appreciate your help.

    Hello

    Reassembly of the old computer won't help. You will always need the key to open the Bitlocker.

  • Cannot access Windows 7 after upgrading ram?

    I have a Toshiba satellite c670 - 10 p and bought 8 GB of ram for it (2 x 4 GB) and now I can't start Windows 7.

    The gparted live USB worked as it was supposed to, its just windows that doesn't seem to work.

    The memory you bought isn't compatible with your PC.

    Run: Memtest86 +.
    It runs from a floppy disk or CD and should eliminate or confirm if one or more of your memory
    sticks are bad or the values of the SPD in the BIOS are correct.
    Let it run for as long as you can: 2,4,6,8 or several hours (at least 3 full passes), so no errors at that time then your ram is OK.
