We all know about the purpose of our product keys, and THERE IS NOT any 'serial keys' intended to be any 'unique identifier for that piece of software' for Windows.ĪND EVEN IF WAS, INDEED, A 'WINDOWS SERIAL KEY' THAT DIFFERS FROM OUR MUCH KNOWN WINDOWS PRODUCT KEY, WHAT DO YOU THINK MOST USERS WOULD WANT TO SEE THERE: YOUR MADE-UP 'WINDOWS SERIAL KEY' bulls**t, OR THE OLD, COMMON AND USEFUL WINDOWS PRODUCT KEY?Īs I said before. Isn't it more beautiful, correct and reasonable to just admit there was a mistake a bug?Īnd to just simply correct this bug on the next version of Speccy?ĭo not get me wrong, as I love Piriform's softwares. Isn't it more beautiful, correct and reasonable to just admit there was a mistake a bug? Instead of making up fake stories and explanations?įake stories like 'The serial key is the unique identifier for that piece of software, where was the license/product key is just a code that unlocks the software to make us usable', as well as metaphors like the address and the locker key ones.

UPDATE: This solution on NVIDIA forums seems to have fixed it (no crashes in weeks).THIS IS bulls**t! There's no such thing as 'Windows Serial Key different from Windows Product Key'. Is it some weird software thing? I'm about to reinstall windows again and install things one by one, but what the hell is causing this?

NZXT even RMA'ed my video card so this has happened with 3 diff video cards. I even changed my peripherals (keyboard, monitors, mouse, keyboard, although I may change power strip at this point). I thought buying a pre-built PC might alleviate these issues but it kept happening. I started having this issue with my own PC that I had built.
