PC Crashed. Reloaded Win7 Pro and Key is no longer valid

Question
-
Windows updated overnight and crashed upon reboot. Had to reformat and reload Windows. Now, my key no longer works. I got this copy of Windows through school and wrote the key down on the disk. Tried the "slui 4" method and had to call. The CSR was zero help.
The MSDIAG report:

The installed Key is the Default Key, and can never be activated.
Your machine appears to be based on a retail motherboard - is there a COA sticker on the case? If so, this should have the Key on it.
If you bought a Retail install of Windows, then the proper Key will be in the packaging with the disks.
You need to change the Product Key to the one on the COA sticker, or the POL card from your package, using the Change Product Key link at the bottom of the System properties page.
You may need to activate by phone.
