@doclucas: When was your bios created for the computer on the first report? It will tell you when you boot up. If it was before windows 7 then WAT may have disabled it cause it sees you as a pirate.
Ok your bios seems good then. Did you install the same exact matching slic and cert? Also was it activated before installing WAT?
That was the first thing I checked .. <Date>20100206000000.000000+000</Date> seems a new bios.. and I know from previous posts from NoJuan999 that OEM's use gigabyte boards - so we can rule those out I think...
Your case must be unique ... I have 3 machines that passed the WGA test after the update from M$ ... They are all working well...
Like I said though, it most likely has to do with the fact that it is a Giga Board. Legal Giga boards are having the same issue right now. Stupid WAT system!
Asus manufacturing boars for OEMs like HP, this board is for HP desktop and been used in different models, i think it came with SLIC2.0 (HP-CPC), the subject board has been modified to LENOVO TP-7X SLIC2.1
I have here 2 machines, both have the same problem, both have different motherboard, the only common thing between those 2 machines are they are both Gigabyte Motherboards (although the other one is quite old). So you might be right, maybe it is just an isolated problem with Gigabyte Mobos, maybe not...time will tell.
