You have post bios screen disabled or a quick boot. Go to Control Panel > System > Windows Activation. Check to see if it is activated. If you are 100% it is genuine, give Microsoft a note(Through help, call, email or anything)
 
I changed a mobo this morning from a dead Asus M5A99X EVO to a smaller Asus board and as always, Windows 7 not unreasonably thought it might have been copied.

As soon as you have ethernet drivers installed, go into Control Panel>system and at the bottom of the form, click on Activate now. Chances are it will work - mine always do whenever I have to change boards or other major hardware alterations.

No that's not what I meant, my temps sit at 28 at the moment, not tested in a game, but the tj max "using core temp" is 90, and it's supposed Tao be 70.
Considering the temps are near 10c lower then usual, I'm n happy the paste is on ok, I did the pea trick, a small pea/rice grain dot in the middle, and used the heatsink to squash it down and spread the paste it's self.
