Hi,

I have a computer with Windows 10 version 1909 running on it. Last week I had a corrupt RAM on the PC due to this I had a multiple BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) and my Windows 10 OS crashed.

Even after replacing the BAD corrupted RAM my PC still getting only BSOD critical process died error.

I decided to reset the PC through Windows 10 BIOS troubleshooting, but Windows 10 Reset also failed with the error “There was a problem resetting your PC”.

Finally, I installed a fresh, clean Windows 10 OS and installed all the required software, but now I am not able to activate the Windows 10 keep getting the below error:

AFAIK, Windows 10 should automatically detect my Windows 10 key through activation troubleshooter but its keep failing. I have a genuine key, but why Windows is not detecting it?

I don’t have the key in my hand because this PC is OEM licensed.

Any Suggestion or guidance is appreciated.

Thank
