Default WGA Killing Vista

If I install a new harddrive and video card in windows Vista Home Premium
will WGA kill my OS? If so, and I have an OEM copy will Microsoft reset it?

It probably will make you reactivate your OS. But, Microsoft will get you
back up and running with a phone activation.

If you are required to reactivate you will have a grace period and Microsoft
will not do anything to your Windows. If the hard drive is your system
drive then reactivation is certain. If it is any other drive there will be
no impact to activation. The video card should not trigger reactivation by
itself but can in combination with other changes trigger reactivation.

I swapped out 2 GeForce 8500GT's in SLI configuration with 1 GeForce 8800GT
and it triggered reactivation.
