  1. Not able to activate windows after building new pc


    I'm getting the following error. "windows reported that no product key was found on your device error code 0xc004f213"


    I have tried all the troubleshooting steps found on MS's site and so far no luck. I have used my digital license on multiple computers over the years and never had an issue until now. Does mean I can no longer use the license and have to buy one?


    Thanks

    :)

    New Gaming Build

    Hey all,

    I'm looking to upgrade my PC as it's getting fairly old now and showing its age. Would you be able to provide me with some feedback on the below build.

    I'm using a 1.5k budget.

    Cheap Laptops, Tablet PC, and Cheap LED TVs | Ebuyer.com

    The GPU isn't listed, but I will be using a GTX 970 and I also have a Samsung 850 EVO 250 GB mainly for my OS. (SSD was added recently to my current rig).

    All feedback / suggestions welcome.

    Many thanks,

    PC Build Steps

    Ok just because I like steps i am going to create some steps. Please give me the stamp of approval/disapproval
    • Install system in case
      • Remember to connect SSD and optical to same SATA ports on motherboard
    • Turn on PC
    • setup HDD
    • run blend test in prime95 for 30-60 min
      • run realtemp at the same time
    • While in Prime95 test
      • if CPU goes above 70c in RealTemp, I have a leaky CPU
      • if my system locks up or blue screens, there is an instability in the system somewhere
      • if my system does not lock up or blue screen, my CPU is not damaged and I am in the clear!
    What do you guys think??
