Therefore, I took it to a technician he told that my SMPS and MOBO both are dead, so as his advice I replaced that above mention compoments but now I am facing a problem and it is that I am unable to activate my copy of windows it shows my copy is already activated, and now my question is how to deactivate the copy from the dead mobo to my new mobo please look deeply into these topic because I dont want to invest another 10k inr for windows copy please help. Please explain how to activate in new mobo briefly.. Please thanks in advance.. :)

Microsoft's activation "process" will assume that a new motherboard means a new computer. That's why you can't activate. You were probably offered a phone number to call, and that's what you need to do. You'll most likely be able to satisfy a "real" person that you are not trying to use your license on a second computer, and he/she will help you with a key to activate. Best wishes!
