Today i had this sudden blackout and obviously turned off my pc while it was on use. When the power went abck on and i turned on my pc it was asking me for a valdiation of my windows.
I went to the properties to check if it was true that my windows wasnt genuine just to find out the validation was there and wasn´t asking again for the serial.
I searched for a while diffrent fixes or st least what caused this. I can´t make windows update, can´t use backgrounds and when i try to open Window Activation Update just deosn´t let me.
I don´t have the serial or the window disk at least not in hand. It was already installed by the company who built up my pc.

Last night after some modem problems which may be coincidental Windows 7 PRO (OEM) suddenly de-activated. It now will not re-activate either by the normal method or by telephone. No hardware has been changed and to my knowledge no new software was installed although some of course may have been updated. I was simply attempting to browse the web. It came with a new build and has been fine since November 2011. Checking the error logs I find these related messages. Code: Genuine state set to non-genuine (0x00000000) for application Id 55c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f Code: Acquisition of genuine ticket failed, hr=0xC004C4A2) for template Id 66c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f I ran the MGADiag tool and it produced this.

Windows 7
Build 7601
This copy of Windows is not genuine
It is genuine and activated. When I restart my computer and login and everything loads the message isn't there, but after a while the message with show up and I have to restart my computer to make it temporarily go away, so why am I getting that message and how can I make it so it doesn't reappear.

This has happened to me a few times but windows sometimes tells me it's not genuine and needs activating. If I go online and validate/activate it sorts it self out but why would it be doing this?

What I think to have caused the problem is in this previous threadnyway, after doing that last fix and booting the computer the next day, I got an error saying I may be a victim of software counterfitting, followed by a black wallpaper with a not genuine message at the bottom right. I need to get it working again so I can get updates, and I've lost my Windows 7 Home Premium key which makes this all the more difficult to fix with normal tech support from Microsoft

I built this PC myself. It was built around 5 months ago. I installed Windows 7, and it said it was perfectly genuine and everything. I bought this on eBay from a person with 99% Positive feedback and with 2300 stars, so I'm sure it isn't pirated. Now randomly I have a black wallpaper and in the bottom right corner it says Windows 7, Build 7601, This copy of Windows is not genuine. I've scanned the computer fully for viruses with AVG and Malware with Malwarebytes, and found no problems. [code]

About 9 months ago I was upgrading the hardware on my PC including the hard drive. To cut to the chase, a friend of mine had a copy of the 64bit window 7 ultimate and told me to install that and buy a window key online to save some money. He said it works fine as he had done it before. So I did that, and it worked great until a couple of days ago, when I started getting all the windows not genuine boxes and signs on screen. I have tried re-entering the windows key with no luck.

I recently replaced the hard drive on my Dell PC. I followe the Seagate instructions to copy the entire hard-drive, including the Operating System. The instructions didn't say anything about activation or "genuine windows" issues. In any case, my Windows 7 installation is "activated", but does not pass Microsofts "Genuine" tests. Updating is disabled. I really don't want to reinstall Windows 7. Is there a way to get my "Genuine" status back?

I upgraded the HD on my HP Elitebook 8540w laptop. WIndows 7 Premium, OEM, from HP, system still under warranty. No problems for a couple weeks after the upgrade, then Windows is suddenly not valid. It is wierd. The System Properties shows Windows is Valid. But Windows Update and Microsoft Security Essentials will not update. The online check at Microsoft fails. [code]

This weekend, I bought and installed a new SSD into my computer. I re-installed my Windows 7 (Home Premium x64 OEM) onto it, (fresh install, no migrate) and immediately formatted my mechanical HDD. I went into my BIOS and changed boot priority. (I set it to CD first, because I was re-installing from the disc, followed by my SSD.) I changed BIOS Drive positions, with my SSD as #1 and HDD as #2. On my Mobo, my SSD is plugged into SATA3 Port #1. My HDD is plugged into SATA2 Port #1. As soon as I got Windows installed, I started re-installing programs, setting up my admin account, and generally resetting my system, theme, Rainmeter, etc. Then I started getting messages that I wasn�t running Genuine Windows. I clicked the �Resolve Online� button, and downloaded the authenticator software, which told me I needed to buy a copy of Windows.This irritated me, because I am running a key I bought legitimately, and I have the packaging and CoA. I called Tech Support. I spoke with a very helpful gentleman. He checked out my product key. He had me activate my product, which I hadn�t done on my new install yet, and I got a �Genuine� tag to appear under the Windows Experience Rating in �My Computer>Properties�. He said I was good to go. Now, 48hrs later, I�m getting the "Not Genuine" message again. I have a screenshot of Windows claiming to be Genuine and Not Genuine at the same time. (See Attached photo.) I have installed a lot of updates since my re-install, so I do seem to be getting those. So, although I formatted the original Mechanical HDD, I have to assume there are some residual Windows files still on it, (but I'm not finding any) because apparently Windows thinks it�s running on two machines now, I assume. I�m also getting a strange message in my Boot process, which asks me if I want to Boot into Windows 7, or into Windows 7. A 30sec timer then appears and chooses the highlighted option, and continues to boot normally. This computer is custom built, and I purchased an OEM version of windows separately from the builder - legit, physical packaging - and I opened the packaging and installed it myself about a year ago. It has been fine until I installed the new drive this weekend.

Sometimes when I power-up my pc everything goes on (fans, HDDs, MOBO..) 2-3 sec later it shuts (won't even get to the bios boot screen) then few seconds later it will turn itself on and stay on (log into windows..)

My mother-in-law gave us her laptop this year for Christmas. It's about a year old, an HP G60, and it worked fine for her before she gave it to us.
Now, seemingly out of nowhere, we're getting messages that windows 7 isn't genuine and that we might be victims of software fraud. There is a COA on the bottom of the laptop and MIL says she never got that message before, so I have no reason to doubt that the software is genuine, but for some reason MS can no longer validate it.
Windows has been re-installed, so that means we've been doing a lot of updating, and the computer was restarted immediately before the problem appeared, but I do not think it was immediately after installing a SP. I have already tried all the fixes here, but none of my settings needed to be changed. Plug and Play was already set to Not Defined, Network Service was already set to allow Full Control and Read, etc. So none of those worked.

I suddenly started receiving an error that "This copy of Windows is not genuine" even though I am sure it is genuine. I have been using it for a year without a problem. When I try to re-activate it, I get an error that it is not a genuine copy. [code]

It is gebuine OEM and activated (back when I got the notebook), and I have not tampered in any way.

Hi there, right now I have a non genuine version of Windows 7 Ultimate installed, I'm looking to replace it with a genuine copy of Windows 7 home premium. Could I do this with an upgrade disc or would I need to buy the whole OS? I'm trying to avoid paying 200$ to activate Ultimate.

I am using an Acer Aspire 5738G, which originally came with Windows Vista Home Premium. Later I got the free Windows 7 Home Premium update disc and never encountered any problem.
But since the last 1 month or so, I've been getting this 'Windows not genuine' message on a random basis. Microsoft Security Essentials says that it will disable itself within 30 days if the issue is not resolved. When I click on 'Resolve issue', an IE window is opened and takes me to Microsoft's website. When I do all the steps explained, everything goes back to normal and my Windows is again considered as genuine.

I wish some of you guys can help me here.Used genuine key to activate previously hacked Windows 7.System goes through authentication, "Genuine" logo. Everything fine until I reboot the system. The Product ID changes back to 00426-292-0000007-85528, and the system ask to be activated "today". I change the key again and everything is fine until next reboot.I've tried various methods including system restore, over the phone activation, etc. Same result. Just don't want to do the clean install again, too much stuff to re-install

The hurricane came and cut the power while the computer was on. power came back on after 3 days. i cut the computer on and it said that startup has failed. so the computer tired to do the auto fix. But then it failed and shut down. I cut the computer back on and i had a horrible long beep maybe a full second. then it sent to system restore because of a windows problem. i tried the restore but then that failed because a steam file. when that was finish its sent to log into computer. at this point i am confused because im on the computer when it say that start up has failed. i didn't know what esle to do so i just shut down the computer and cut it back on and the long beep was gone. it started up as normal. However under system it say that i have 8 days to activate windows.

I installed and activated my Windows 7 Ultimate OS but am still getting messages that there this is a pre release version and sometimes the system shuts down and restarts. However the Control Panel says that I am activated. So what gives? Is there a file left over on my external hard drives causing this?

I purchased the full version of Windows 7 Home premium for my new build in March.I bought the full version rather then the OEM so I wouldn't have to answer to Big Brother Bill if I ever wanted to upgrade my computer.Since I live in a remote area with internet access limited to ~ 1kB/sec dial up, I activated Windows by phone, then used WSUS Offline Update to install the updates that I downloaded at work.
Yesterday I got the message that my copy of Windows is not genuine.I've spent hours on the phone with MS tech support to no success.When I attempt to activate either by phone or online the required alphanumeric code is missing in the activation dialog.Is there no option left other than reformating the HD and starting all over?

I installed Windows 7 a while ago and set my backup options to create a disk image every week.What I need to know is if I restore one of these images will Windows 7 already be activated or will it need re activating?
