Not Genuine All of a Sudden

Question
-
Help please. I bought a new Samsung n210 machine about 3 years ago which came with Windows 7 basic pre-loaded. Later on, I did an Anytime Upgrade to Windows 7 Home Premium using an upgrade key purchased from a reputable high street store. This arrangement worked fine for about 2 years until a few days ago. I checked on the Samsung site to see if they had issued any driver updates for my machine. They had; I installed them, only to find that the pc then ran tortuously slowly with 100% CPU usage constantly. I then did a system restore (only 3 or 4 days previous) to undo the driver changes, rather than reinstalling one by one.
At the next reboot, and ever since, I get a black screen with the 'not genuine' message in the lower right of the screen. The original Microsoft sticker with the Home Basic product key is still on the underside of the pc and I have the original plastic box containing the Home Premium Key.
How do I reset things to get the 'not genuine' status removed?
Thanks in advance,

The installed Key is the Default Key for Windows - 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.
