So i built my own computer... not my first time and im sure it wont be the last. issue is all of a sudden my second hdd just stopped showing up in my computer still shows in device manager. also for some reason when i go full screen in youtube the video fills most of the screen but the bottom and right side are just white bars and the picture freezes audio is still going and it works fine if not in full screen. today the video its self was messed up all the colors were wrong like the computer wasnt sure what colors it was supposed to display but a simple reboot fixed that. i should mention i have two screens one is a gateway 22" (DVI) the other is my tv 32" Vizio (HDMI) set up in extended display.

Over all the computer runs great but definitely not to the standards i think it should given the components, maybe because i dont have a product key ( i did buy my copy of 7 but when i updated my processor and subsequently the mother board windows considered it a "new" computer and im not paying $100+ again for a product i already own)

any help would be greatly appreciated

Over all the computer runs great but definitely not to the standards i think it should given the components, maybe because i dont have a product key ( i did buy my copy of 7 but when i updated my processor and subsequently the mother board windows considered it a "new" computer and im not paying $100+ again for a product i already own)
The first thing that is needed is a legal copy of Windows 7 installed.
If you have a Retail copy of Windows 7 and it's COA you can move Windows 7 to your new build as long it's only installed on one computer at a time.
You never own a Microsoft operating system. You pay for the right to use the operating system according to your agreement with Microsoft.

Please read the forum rules again.

I have asked some friends to take a look at the log to see if they can give some guidance.
Do keep in mind they are from different parts of the would so their will be a time difference.

The installed Key is the Default Key, which can never be activated.


You need to change the Product Key to the one on the COA sticker on the machine's case (or inside the battery compartment), using the Change Product Key link at the bottom of the System properties page.


You may need to activate by phone.

Thank you Noel.

gage311 Please follow Noel's instruction.
We must have a legal copy of Windows 7 installed before we can help and farther.

Even with a retail key you might still have to call Microsoft to get your new hardware activated, it should be no problem.

Why would you think you don`t have a key ?

As Noel pointed out, it`s with the packaging.

The question then becomes - where did you get the copy of Windows that you used to install this machine?
If from anywhere other than a legitimate source, it could easily be pre-infested with malware, which could be causing your current problems.
