Can a DELL Re-installation Disk be used on a Non-Dell PC
I had a custom PC built, and a Dell Re-installation Disk was used initially
to Install Windows. The System worked about 30 days, and started getting BSOD's.
After a Clean Re-Install of Windows Pro 64 bit on a New Hard Drive,
Windows updates will not complete, and seems to be in a loop of Failure:
Reverting Configuration Changes. Sometimes the system gets to the
Desk top, but soon as an action is attempted [like installing IE-11] it throws
BSOD's. There are NO Dell components in the system build. Could the Dell
Re-installation Disk be causing the problem, even though the Disk was
Validated as Genuine Windows? I questioned the builder as to why he used that
particular Dell Re-installation Disk, and he denies purchasing & installing it.
That's another issue, but I want to know if the Dell disk is giving me the headaches?
Most components are ASUS.
Thanks!
