in the system manufacturer/model number you can put the data you put into your other info. Also add the specific dv6 model. Sometimes we need to look up info on your particular notebook and we need such info when we do.
Windows 7 was the OS installed when I bought this laptop.
Have you since that time made an install/reinstall/upgrade of your Win 7?
If you:
WIN + Pause | bottom-right, do you see a "genuine Microsoft" icon?
WIN = key with microsoft logo on top.
Basically, I'm going to ask you to install updates one at a time, but before that:
Pleaee run the enclosed scripts and attach the resulting files to your next post.
