Mistakenly Banned for upgrading GPU?

Has this ever happened to anyone?

I used to play on 

https://www.msi.com/Laptop/support/gp62-2qe-leopard-pro

this laptop. Had a terrible kill to death ratio.

But i purchased a built rig on Offerup

-i7-6700K

-16GB Ram Corsair Vengance

-ASUS ROG MAXIMUS VIII HERO ALPHA

-GTX 2070

-1TB HDD

-500GB SSD

-860 Watt power supply

After a great game... i got banned...

Please help. I contacted EA but i still have not gotten a response. I've been playing since the 2 week of the games release and i would hate to lose everything.

    He had an OfferUp account with multiple listed computers. He also had multiple other computers in his garage. Should I ask him? 

    Does anyone know how long EA usually takes to respond to these claims? 

    I created 2 new accounts after this one got banned and they also got banned.

    I also went from playing on a LapTop that was putting out 60fps to a Tower that now pushes out 240fps on low settings.

    When I was playing, I also noticed a lot of the people I will slaughtering was viewing my game-play. At one point there were 4 people. 

  • Can someone please help?

    I did a system restore on my PC, created a new account and then got banned mid game.

    I was banned the second match.

    The first match i got 5 kills and 1300 damage.

  • So for the past 12 hours I've been playing Call of Duty Warzone and no ban.

    I dont know why Origin banned my account. Please help. I will continue to post on here until i get a reply for my official petition. 

    If anyone in the community can add to this. Id appreciate it. Please i need help

  • @Magiic777 The system you bought could have been hardware banned already earlier for cheating. That's the only explanation I can think of. And these hardware bans can't be lifted. Plz, take precautions before buying 2nd hand stuff.
