Alright cheers for the info, yer i just want it sorted out, i got my elgato games capture hd come today and have not got a chance to get around to turning the god damn computer on let alone do anything else. I shall give it a try, also would the problem be that the windows 7 i downloaded was a self activating iso?. it was a torrent as i lost my original windows 7 Home.
Boot from win7 install DVD and do a system restore System Restore option TWO
again post results
From torrent? self activating?? Illegal!!!!
Install form ISO located here Official Windows 7 SP1 ISO from Digital River « My Digital Life
But you don't have a license for ultimate!
You have a product key for home premium? It should be on COA sticker!
home premium what language did you have and is it 32bits or 64bits?
If english home premium
Windows 7 Home Premium SP1-U ISO
English x86: X17-58996.iso
English x64: X17-58997.iso
Yes that, and no i can't remember what it was exactly, i had it wrote down on the pc, for the sticky, but i wiped it and its gone, so now im in a loop where im stuck and don't know what to do.
guys, im really stuck here, i had this problem earlier on, and i made a post but i still have not got rid or sorted it out, i've done a fresh install of Windows Home Premium on 32 bit pc, its loaded up fine, im with a asus motherboard and amd graphic's card. i go into controll panel then go to check for updates, then it gives me a good 117 updates, of which are security updates..so i click on all..i wait about half hour for them to all install, it goes into reboot, and loads up the bios etc etc, comes to the "starting windows screen", then it flashes and goes completely black, with no cursor or anything, as if its stuck, i dont know what to do as this is like the 5th time ive done a system restore, and 3rd time doing a fresh install, it works all fine up till the point where i have to get updates, the resolution for my moniter is out of proportionate, and it only sorts it self out when i install the updates...so i don't know what to do, can somebody give me any sort of guidance. thank you! :)

I'm just repeating Kaktussoft's question here.
You used to have ULTIMATE, with a VALID key.
Do you still have that system somewhere? In a partition? Or a backup? There are methods to recover the key and it can be used to reactivate Windows with a legit version.

Found out it was a bad video card driver...Safe Mode + Device Manager + Uninstalled graphics card + Reboot = Success.
