    Hello ChrisJoyce01,

    Installed copies of Windows periodically check their licensing status.  It seems that when yours checked most recently, it ran into a problem that is identified in the mgadiag report by the bolded line below:

    OEM Activation 1.0 Data-->
    BIOS string matches: yes
    Marker string from BIOS: 1AC52:Dell Inc|1AC52:Microsoft Corporation
    Marker string from OEMBIOS.DAT: N/A, hr = 0x80004005

     

    Here is what a "normal" report would look like:

    OEM Activation 1.0 Data-->
    BIOS string matches: yes
    Marker string from BIOS: 1B112:Dell Inc|1B112:Microsoft Corporation
    Marker string from OEMBIOS.DAT: Dell System,Dell Computer,Dell System,Dell System

     

    The value hr = 0x80004005 is a generic error code for access denied, which means that for some reason (hard disk drive problems, memory problems, malware problems, incorrect prmissions, or just a random glitch), Windows could not access the special file on the hard disk drive that holds information about the license.  Windows uses this file and information from the system BIOS and pairs them up to verify the license; in your case the file can't be seeen by Windows.  When this happens, Windows goes "out of tolerance" and wants to be reactivated.

     

    Follow Noel's advice to do the telephone activation, but when asked to enter the product key, enter the product key from the Certificate of Authenticity (CoA) label that is affixed to the computer.

    Post back to let us know how you did :-)

    Have you actually tried to re-activate?
     
    There are no obvious signs of any problems with the OS - you should try Internet activation first, then telephone activation.
    If both fail, then try telephone activation again, but this time, when the ansafone asks which service you require, do NOT respond - this should force a live operator to pick up, who can deal with your problem.

    Dan - Access denied errors are usually 8007005, not 8004005 - do you have more data than I do?
