This has been going of for a while. Apart from being close to the most expensive electricity in the world, our area also has extremely unreliable power.
2 out of 3 times when the power goes out for 1 - 2 seconds the computers will reboot. When they come back up I get the black screen and the "victim of counterfeiting" and "This copy of windows is not genuine" messages.
Occasionaly 4 - 5 reboots will fix it, but most of the time it doesn't.
Sometimes, Windows will also complain that the update server cannot be contacted.
It happens on my Windows 7 and WIndows 2008 R2 systems.
The keys are legit - they are from my technet subscription and purchased full retail copies.
I have to re-activate the software repeatedly. Whilst that always works (so far at least, until Micro$oft decide I have activated too many times), but it's a pain in the butt.
Short of buying 6 UPSs, anyone have any ideas how to stop it?
thanks
