i've left my computer on all day after turning it on in the morning without shutting it down. now it displays a warning about "windows 7 build 7601 this copy of windows is not genuine" in the top corner. i purchased this pc from komplett, a scandinavian computer parts store, and it was built with genuine windows. i'm trying to understand what's happening and have looked into some fixes, but i want to know what's actually going on.

It seems the key you provided might not have been valid.

Attempt to turn it back on again. Do you still possess the key?

I accessed the Control Panel, System, and Security sections, but it vanished immediately, then displayed a message indicating a second window was active.

I faced the same issue a few months ago too. I also created a topic about it.

Contact Microsoft support and a specialist should be able to connect and resolve the issue. I experienced a comparable situation during a motherboard upgrade.
