You should not be contacting HP support.
Did you try the instructions from Carey's post above?

Your Vista OEM installation is tied to the HP motherboard BIOS, THAT is why
you cannot reactivate, also your HP recovery will no longer functions as the
original HP motherboard is no longer installed. You've put yourself in a bad
place as Microsoft is not responsible for support of your OEM product, and
HP will likely tell you your SOL as you modified the hardware, they will
likely refuse to support you.

A HP install key is likely not going to work with a gigabyte motherboard. In
effect you have a new computer and the key is tied to the original
motherboard - which you are no longer using. You will need a generic O.E.M.
install key or a retail install key to activate.

You state that "...this did come off of a HP and..." If it came from a
different computer, you know that your can't install it on another computer.

Buy a legitimate version!

What would have come off of the HP would have been a set of 3-5 recovery
DVDS and not a single CD?
Also does your HP have its product key on a label on the back, or bottom of
the cabinet? If so is it the same as the one you found with the key finder?
This is the key belongs to the system and not to you and can only be reused
with a MOBO replacement of the same model MOBO in the system due to a MOBO
failure.
