Windows 7 Professional suddenly not genuine

Question
-
Hello,
I have a problem with my Windows 7 Professional 64-bit Edition. I have a problem with the Windows Genuine Advantage Validation window popping up every hour with code 0x8004fe21. I bought my licence key from the Microsoft Online Store and also raised an issue with the local Microsoft Support in India but after more than a few hours on phone, I am nowhere close to getting a solution to my problem.
I have been getting this problem only recently (for the last 3 weeks). I checked my windows activation status and it is activated. I redid the activation procedure 3 times so far (thanks to Microsoft Support !! ) and I have had no problems during activation each time. I have also noticed that if I check Windows activation status window once, the pop-up doesnt appear for another 6 hours or so.
I have no problems in getting the updates as well. This is getting really frustrating. And on going through the forums, I couldnt find any concrete working solutions. I do not have Vistalizator or Multiple language files installed either ( I checked using the Regedit method in another thread ).
I am pasting the contents of MGA Diagnostic out here.

I am again repeating here that re-activating windows after clicking change product key does not solve any issue. I do not get the pop-up for a few hours after that and then it restarts again as before.
Hope I get more help here than through tele-support.

I did the exact steps as mentioned by you and pasted it out here. I also sent the MGA Diagnostic Report to the MS Support guys here on phone. Meanwhile, I extracted the SPPSVC.exe file from my Windows Installation DVD sent by Microsoft and replaced it in the system32 folder. For now, I am not getting the error pop-up again. However, I will wait for a day or two before closing the ticket at Microsoft support.

Try using System Restore back to a point before the issue showed up.
