I'm not expert on this but did you check hash of your WIN7 copy? If not, search the forum and get the appropriate copy and install it again. Cheers
@CPUfanatic Dell Optiplex 755 has SLIC 2.0 ( For Windows Vista OEM SLP Key ) Windows 7 requires SLIC 2.1. Therefore you can not use the OEM SLP key from above-mentioned list.
