    Reset PC after a virus. (Now windows wont activate)


    Basically.


    I have reset my PC meaning my Windows has been reinstalled.

    I have a good copy of Windows 10 Pro but for some reason it keeps coming up saying "You cannot connect to business account" ? Can someone explain or explain why my PC now has to be re-activated but I can't.


    Cheers

    :)

    Windows is not activated following "reset this pc"


    My latest rebuild was done using:
    • Reset this PC.
    • Don't keep files.

    I now see the conflicting output as show in post #16.

    Also I have a watermark on my desktop. Is this normal?

    Windows 7 wont install drivers

    +1

    If you having an issue installing a driver that worked before you formatted or wont install on a fresh build, sometimes this means hardware damage

    PC shut down, wont turn back on

    The fan twitch is it powering up and then the psu is noteing a short and cutting out hence why it wont do it again straight after until it's reset, something is blown or shorted out so you need to do as someone suggested and split the pc out then, on a table build the minimum up as he said and step by step see what's happening.
