not sure if i got that right from what the instructions said.. not much of a forum user.
some background info before my current problem

when i got this laptop 2 or 3 years ago it had blue screen problems, while my warranty was good i took it into the company i bought it from. i dont think they did anything because the blue screen problems continued "memory management" they said the ram was fine etc.. so i gave up on it. Few months back i started trying to fix it again on my free time.

I think i narrowed it down to windows updates giving me trouble, they would fail every time, fail on startup trying to install every single time and failing.. then it would try to disk check.. and usually blue screen on startup.

Tried nearly everything i could find to fix it, nothing worked then i found a link here Repair Install

"If you have a 64-bit (x64) Windows 7 currently installed, then you must use a 64-bit Windows 7 installation disc to be able to do a repair install with."

Thought what the hell ill give it a shot. sure enough, it worked. I could install every windows update after that with very little failure. (MAJOR THANKS TO BRINK)

HOWEVER, now it keeps telling me that my copy of windows 7 is not genuine? ( i cant get into safe mode too, freezes on classpnp.sys or something, ill get to that later)

the thing i had to run for you guys here puts up a product key thats the same as my sticker. and every time i try to validate the key on the sticker it gives me that error 0xc004e003.

I may have fixed the blue screens and windows updates but i caused more trouble now.. please help.

*edit* moreover, even though windows is telling me its not genuine, it let me install ALL the updates. when it asks me to validate and brings me here http://www.microsoft.com/genuine/val...eName=validate it says it was interrupted? my firewall is off too..

I've still got the validation issue since repairing my windows. Could this have happened because I used the wrong repair tool?

Looks like my ram was causing the blue screens, updating windows completely made it even worse in the end. Maybe the updates increased the amount of ram I was using on startup? I ran a memtest and got a few hundred thousand errors, so i tested every slot and every piece of ram. Turns out my second ram slot is buggered? I put a tested 6+ pass piece of ram in the second slot and ran the test, nothing but errors. This means i just shouldnt use the slot and im good right?

What exactly happens if you attempt validation at www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate using Internet Explorer?

If you have RAM problems then no amount of fixing software is going to solve anything as the memory will continually corrupt the records.

You need to replace the faulty modules before even thinking about repairing the system.
