possible causes:
1. you used a vanity address service which they replaced the 5 at the start of a privkey with an x so that you can replace the x with a 5 to be imported into bitcoin or replace the x with another letter/number for a different alt.

2. what you have is not a proper privkey but a 'passphrase seed' some of these less reliable wallets use. which are accepted in passphrase wallets but not the official bitcoin wallet.

can you atleast explain what wallet /service you got the keys from and then what wallets/services you are trying to put the keys into.

that way we can advise you better at how to grab the correct key from original source to then be useful in the destination service.

In Import/Export -> Export Unencrypted where you got the private key, there's a dropdown menu above choose Bitcoin-qt format, then you can import it.
