  1. Windows will not let me activate in the settings app


    I recently had to unplug my GPU and plug it back in, and windows deactivated. I got the "activate windows" thing in the bottom right corner of my screen even though windows has been fine with my computer for at least 3 years. My biggest problem is that whenever I try to fix this by clicking on the Activation tab in settings, the settings app freezes. I've tried it at least a dozen times, turned my computer off and on again, and still, the settings app can't handle opening the activation tab. Is there a way to reactivate windows without using that app or should I just wait for the bug to get pa

    :)

    Windows 10 will not activate Error code 0x803F7001

    Possibly there can be the problem with Microsoft activation Server, so your Windows 10 is not activated. In this scenario, you need to wait and verify if it is the issue from Microsoft’s side. But if you are getting error code 0x803f7001, you can also try these steps:

    1. Open Settings app. Then go to Update and security > Activation screen > Change product.
    2. Type your Windows edition product key and click Next.
    3. You’ll get We couldn’t activate Windows error message.
    4. Retry steps 1-3 then type your 25-characters unique product key.
    5. Wait for the process to complete, Windows 10 is activated.
    Hope something helps this problem

    That's what the auto setting will do since you're over the 1333 mark it jumps to the next step which isn't listed or officially supported I assume by that ram.

    At this point though I would suggest dropping the multi one step or .5 so that we can get something stable and possibly take the heat issue out of the picture for now.
