Windows asking for validation for the second time this month

Question
-
Hello, I bought windows 7 around 4 months a go and I didnt have any issue till now; I bought a new graphics card and installed it, a few days later, I got a message in the task bar about hardware changes and that it was necessary to validate my product; I did it by phone, there was no problem at all, but now like 5 days later, I got the same message: I need to validate again; I havent changed any hardware, neither configured anything, so I dont know whats going on. Is there any way to solve this?
Thanks in advance.

That's OK - I understand less than half of it, and that's usually enough :)You have a weird activation problem - Your Key is apparently a Retail one - but the error message is for a KMS Volume License.Note that a KMS License could not be valid on your machine, as it's based on a retail motherboard, and KMS Licenses require a BIOS SLIC table to help validate them.What happens if you go to www.microsoft.com/genuine/validate ? - are you offered IE9 and MSE, or do you get an error message?either way, once complete, post back with results and another MGADiag report

This can sometimes happen because of driver updates for the motherboard - but there may be other reasonsTo properly analyse and solve problems with Activation and Validation, we need to see a full copy of the report produced by the MGADiag tool (download and save to desktop - http://go.microsoft.com/fwlink/?linkid=52012 )

In that link I get, after some validation process, a welcome banner, a link to download Security Essentials, IE9 and a link for windows live. I already have IE9 tho.
For retail you mean a brand computer? because I assembled this machine. the only modification after I installed windows 7 was the video card upgrade.

MS Validation obviously thinks your key is genuine :)Please post another MGADiag report - with any luck this will have solved the problem, unless you are still seeing the non-genuine notifiaction.
