A message popped up yesterday saying “You may be a victim of software piracy” which I ignored because I know my windows is genuine. When I restarted my computer today the message came up again in the windows startup screen before windows finish loading and asked if I wanted to resolve this issue. I selected no and windows finished loading then restarted my computer. It did this several times until I selected resolve now then windows finished loading and started explorer. It took me to Microsoft but I really didn’t want to mess with it at the time so I closed the page. When I did so my computer froze. I left it a while to see if it would fix but after 20 mins it still was frozen so I tried to restart. Now my computer won’t boot up. The power comes on but there is no beep and no display. I fear Microsoft screwed me!
I bought my computer new from a computer store and it has the genuine windows xp home edition hologram sticker on the back with my serial number. I tried using Microsoft support but they as for my product identification number buy going to start, control panel, performance and maintenance, and click on system under the general tab. Which I can’t do so I tried putting in my serial number and it says invalid. On top of that they want to charge me!
Need help please.
