OEM Win 7 HP suddenly not genuine?

Question
-
Asus UL30A laptop with OEM install of Win 7 Home Premium, used and passing WGA checks without problem since new in May 2010 (so almost 5 years).
Yesterday I had a WGA notification that the Windows install was not genuine. Since then I've had continuous pop-up WGA notifications and black desktop.
Following instructions elsewhere here I've downloaded the diagnostic and got the following results:

I have deleted KB3004394 as I understand this can cause these problems, but no difference.
The only other things I have noticed are:
1. There was a substantial update to Windows and MS office this week (23.3). As I have been away I have made little use of the laptop this week. Windows appeared to be attempting to install further updates yesterday, so although there is a delay it's possible this problem is associated with the 23rd update;
2. Recently on switching the computer on I've had trouble with the network card either wanting to re-install or update drivers, or failing to reinstall. For example, this morning it was on Atheros Fast Ethernet #19 in Device Manager; it's now on #23! The Windows Experience tool also claims to have detected new hardware. This may have been happening since the 17 February Windows update, I'm not sure. I understand WGA notifications can be associated with hardware changes;
3. The partial Windows licence key given above does not tally with the licence key on the COA sticker on the back of the laptop. No-one has made any changes to the licence key. Attempting to re-enter the sticker licence key is unsuccessful. I have retrieved the full licence key as given in the diagnostic report and that does not work either. I assume the key above is the OEM SLP key.
4. I attempted a system restore but found no system restore points apart from one back in 2010, although I know I have made system restore points more recently.
I have contacted MS support by telephone this morning but they have been unable to help. They have tried re-installing / activating both keys without success. They have said that the key is OEM blocked and gave me the information Prodkey3 Win Home Prem 7 00178 OEMAct/Preinstall OEM:SLP DOEM MM BLOCKED: OEM SLP. I understand it is normal for the SLP key to be blocked from activation but not from validation, so that doesn't appear to help understand why the product is suddenly no longer valid.
MS Support have said the product key on the COA sticker on the machine does not come up as a valid product key format. However it is an OEM Asus machine bought through a large reputable bricks & mortar store.
Any input / solution greatly appreciated.

You deleted some of the critical data before posting...
However, there's enough here to show that the problem is the lack of a SLIC table, and using the OEM_SLP Key.
Please first try recreating Licensing Store.
Recreate the Licensing Store
Go to Start > All Programs > Accessories
Right-Click on Command Prompt and select Run as Administrator - accept the UAC prompt
Run the following commands in the Command Prompt window, using the Enter key at the end of each
net stop sppsvc
(wait until the service has stopped before entering the following lines)
CD %windir%\ServiceProfiles\NetworkService\AppData\Roaming\Microsoft\SoftwareProtectionPlatform
REN tokens.dat tokens.bar
net start sppsvc
slui.exe
After a couple of seconds the Windows Activation dialog will appear.
You may be asked to re-activate and/or re-enter your product key, or Activation may occur automatically.
If you are asked for your Key, use the one on the COA sticker on the machine's case
Reboot and Post back with a new MGADiag report.
(Note: the Line 'CD %win......\SoftwareProtectionPlatform' is all on one line - it may be broken in the Forum listing)

Hello Noel,
Thanks very much for your reply.
What data were you missing? I deleted the links from the MGADiag report as the sticky in this forum said posting them might cause problems. As far as I know that's all that I deleted. Sorry. Let me know if there's anything you need me to repost.
I tried the actions you suggested, using the key from the COA sticker, and got a dialogue saying "The following failure occurred while trying to use the product key: Code: 0xC004F050 Description: The Software Licencing Service reported that the product key is invalid."
I ran MGADiag again and this is the report (no deletions!):

I notice the partial product key shown now in the report doesn't tally with either the SLP key or the COA key...
Thanks

0xC004F050 usually means that you've misread a character - either C/G/6 or B/8 or Y/V are the most common, an O/0 is almost always a Q
Note that the following characters cannot be used - A E I L N O S U Z 1 0 - so don't bother trying unless you like the noise it makes :)

Hello Noel,
Checked the product key from the COA and it was the same as I had written down.
Tried running through your steps again and this time when I got to the line "REN tokens.dat tokens.bar" I got a response 'a duplicate file name exists or the file cannot be found'.
I continued through the steps and this time got a different activation dialogue box up. Previously I had 'Buy a new product key / Re-enter your product key / Contact ASUSTech for support'; this time I got 'Activate online now / Ask me later'. Followed the 'activate online' button, entered the same key and this time it activated OK. Properties in 'My Computer' showing 'Windows is activated'.
Not sure if something's changed or whether I just had fat fingers when entering the key last time. Anyway, all appears OK now. Thanks very much for your help.
