I just got clarification, I was correct to begin with. RMA it, to the vendor and also tell Amazon that they have a vendor selling illegal OS's.
Have you activated Windows with that number? if not do so and then please follow this tutorial and post the results here Windows Genuine and Activation Issue Posting Instructions

What do these results mean? Is this a pirated version of windows that an Amazon UK vendor is selling? If so can this be the reason that my PC is BSODing? Also what about the corrupt hard drive? Was that corruption caused by this OS or was that also corrupt to begin withCode:Diagnostic Report (1.9.0027.0): ----------------------------------------- Windows Validation Data--> Validation Code: 0 Cached Online Validation Code: 0x0 Windows Product Key: *****-*****-9K424-98WC2-G2HTY Windows Product Key Hash: OlFseEvpURs8y5TdfJG7zXgxlXA= Windows Product ID: 00359-OEM-8683091-65295 Windows Product ID Type: 3 Windows License Type: OEM System Builder Windows OS version: 6.1.7601.2.00010300.1.0.003 ID: {BEBE2E85-9CD2-4FC8-807B-869B1BA933C2}(1) Is Admin: Yes TestCab: 0x0 LegitcheckControl ActiveX: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Product Name: Windows 7 Home Premium Architecture: 0x00000009 Build lab: 7601.win7sp1_gdr.140303-2144 TTS Error: Validation Diagnostic: Resolution Status: N/A Vista WgaER Data--> ThreatID(s): N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Version: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Windows XP Notifications Data--> Cached Result: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 File Exists: No Version: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 WgaTray.exe Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 WgaLogon.dll Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 OGA Notifications Data--> Cached Result: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Version: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 OGAExec.exe Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 OGAAddin.dll Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 OGA Data--> Office Status: 109 N/A OGA Version: N/A, 0x80070002 Signed By: N/A, hr = 0x80070002 Office Diagnostics: 025D1FF3-364-80041010_025D1FF3-229-80041010_025D1FF3-230-1_025D1FF3-517-80040154_025D1FF3-237-80040154_025D1FF3-238-2_025D1FF3-244-80070002_025D1FF3-258-3 Browser Data--> Proxy settings: N/A User Agent: Mozilla/4.0 (compatible; MSIE 8.0; Win32) Default Browser: C:\Program Files (x86)\Google\Chrome\Application\chrome.exe Download signed ActiveX controls: Prompt Download unsigned ActiveX controls: Disabled Run ActiveX controls and plug-ins: Allowed Initialize and script ActiveX controls not marked as safe: Disabled Allow scripting of Internet Explorer Webbrowser control: Disabled Active scripting: Allowed Script ActiveX controls marked as safe for scripting: Allowed File Scan Data--> Other data--> Office Details: <GenuineResults><MachineData><UGUID>{BEBE2E85-9CD2-4FC8-807B-869B1BA933C2}</UGUID><Version>1.9.0027.0</Version><OS>6.1.7601.2.00010300.1.0.003</OS><Architecture>x64</Architecture><PKey>*****-*****-*****-*****-G2HTY</PKey><PID>00359-OEM-8683091-65295</PID><PIDType>3</PIDType><SID>S-1-5-21-2632859220-475284793-2046469198</SID><SYSTEM><Manufacturer>System manufacturer</Manufacturer><Model>System Product Name</Model></SYSTEM><BIOS><Manufacturer>American Megatrends Inc.</Manufacturer><Version>1801 </Version><SMBIOSVersion major="2" minor="5"/><Date>20131112000000.000000+000</Date></BIOS><HWID>67CE3007018400F2</HWID><UserLCID>1809</UserLCID><SystemLCID>0409</SystemLCID><TimeZone>GMT Standard Time(GMT+00:00)</TimeZone><iJoin>0</iJoin><SBID><stat>3</stat><msppid></msppid><name></name><model></model></SBID><OEM/><GANotification/></MachineData><Software><Office><Result>109</Result><Products/><Applications/></Office></Software></GenuineResults> Spsys.log Content: 0x80070002 Licensing Data--> Software licensing service version: 6.1.7601.17514 Name: Windows(R) 7, HomePremium edition Description: Windows Operating System - Windows(R) 7, OEM_COA_NSLP channel Activation ID: 9ab82e0c-ffc9-4107-baa1-c65a8bd3ccc3 Application ID: 55c92734-d682-4d71-983e-d6ec3f16059f Extended PID: 00359-00172-830-965295-02-6153-7601.0000-1812014 Installation ID: 000883460393466905883043195190901036542836837861752881 Processor Certificate URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=88338 Machine Certificate URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=88339 Use License URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=88341 Product Key Certificate URL: http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?LinkID=88340 Partial Product Key: G2HTY License Status: Licensed Remaining Windows rearm count: 3 Trusted time: 30/06/2014 18:07:53 Windows Activation Technologies--> HrOffline: 0x00000000 HrOnline: 0x00000000 HealthStatus: 0x0000000000000000 Event Time Stamp: 6:30:2014 14:54 ActiveX: Registered, Version: 7.1.7600.16395 Admin Service: Registered, Version: 7.1.7600.16395 HealthStatus Bitmask Output: HWID Data--> HWID Hash Current: MgAAAAEABAABAAEAAAACAAAAAQABAAEAln3yV5r6VPkQM1xBOJjsW9ZqntTO7rOBdjI= OEM Activation 1.0 Data--> N/A OEM Activation 2.0 Data--> BIOS valid for OA 2.0: yes, but no SLIC table Windows marker version: N/A OEMID and OEMTableID Consistent: N/A BIOS Information: ACPI Table Name OEMID Value OEMTableID Value APIC 111213 APIC1504 FACP 111213 FACP1504 HPET 111213 OEMHPET MCFG 111213 OEMMCFG OEMB 111213 OEMB1504 SSDT A M I POWERNOW
I've asked one of our experts to look and see. I can't tell. I also can't tell you much about the hard drive other than I seriously doubt any bad results were caused by the DVD you got. There could be some corruption of files on the drive from BSODs, but no damage to the drive itself. I believe that was the problem with the drive. Seatools looks at the drive, not the data.
It says its OEM System Builder and not SLP which is how most OS's are cracked. I'd say its legit but Noel may want to look in. Keys may be transmitted separately now by merchants who sell mainly downloads, and they may have simply thrown the wrong disk in as extra.
I notice that there are several controller options in post #66 screenshot. What's that about Steve? Are the BSOD's all pointing to the display card?
We have only had 1 code other than 0X124 and that was a video TDR error. Those are normally on Laptops with switchable graphics. I was just trying to see if he has something like that in his bios, which it does not appear he has.
It may have created a listing for each of those shown on the right side as card options when he installed their driver? Perhaps one of them is stable?
Was there ever a stable configuration? What driver was installed then?
If you enable Automatically deliver drivers via Windows Update (Step 3) and Check for Updates, what driver does Win7 want? Are there patches provided?
Are you running the full CCC bloatware package and have you tried uninstalling it?
Yes, he is running just the display driver, nothing else. Other than the display driver, was installed from AMD, everything else is from WU. As I understand it the WU driver crashed too. I'm doing a lot of assuming here. We have only once been given a code other than 124. We even turned on Driver Verifier and got only 124 codes, no drivers at all. Yet he has passed every hardware test we have, including Furmark, Prime95, Memtest96, seatools failed on one drive, we changed drives and it passed both the short and long test, then we did a plain vavilla install with nothing added except MSE. Yet, he has another card that does not BSOD. But that card was never used in this install. When even DV won't give you a driver, something's wrong.
The Windows 7, even though it's a system builder license and home Premium, I have never known a retail key given out separate to the DVD. I have bought dozens of them and the key is a sticker inside the DVD cover.
A new method is to email the key with a download link, ship a disk only if they pay extra. It does seem strange they wouldn't have included the COA but it might have been vended by mail similarly. Noel can settle that.
Does the problem happen when running only a Linux Live disk like Peppermint3 - Create Live CD/DVD/USB To Use For Emergency Backup - Windows 7 Forums, first with the HD connected, then with it unplugged? This eliminates the OS and HD.
Is SM Bus controller driver and the unidentified hardware still without a driver?
Has he tried the board chipset yet?
Can he use the card if the IGFX display adapter proves faulty?
