Well yesterday, I got my new motherboard in. It's an Asus. I started it up, did a clean install, and when the screen came up saying, "Windows is setting up your desktop for first time," a box saying there was an error in the configuration (code purple) popped up. I'm not sure how to fix this, can someone help me?

Code Purple error results when you try to install a Compaq/HP tattooed OS onto a non-tattooed motherboard.
This tattoo can go missing if your computer has been in a shop and had its motherboard replaced with a non-Compaq/Hp tattooed motherboard.To repair this, you will have to get the motherboard re-tattooed by Compaq/HP in order to reinstall the Compaq/HP tattooed OS install disk that came with the computer.
An alternative to doing this is to purchase a retail copy of the Windows OS, such as buying a retail copy of Windows 7. These retail copies of the OS will install on any brand of computer and do not require a tattoo to be present.
