Pat, unfortunately there is not near enough information to help you out.
How long have you had the laptop? What is the HP model? How long have you had it? Did it work before and if so when did it stop working properly? Did it connect to the internet in the past? Have you scanned it for viruses? What changes did you make recently? New software? Toolbars? etc?
You said it is getting BSODs; can you zip those DMPs and use a flash drive to copy the zip files over to the machine you are using to post here for help?

Thank you, when I was asking, I could not think of anything to say -
I have had this laptop for about 18 months.
It is a Pavilion dv6-6c40us Entertainment PC.
It has never had problems with the Net.
I have Norton 360 and it has been scanned multiple times.
There is no new hardware.
I am not sure about software. I get the BSOD so fast that I cannot get to things. I will keep trying until I am sure about the software. The BSOD has been there for about 2 weeks and I have tried multiple things. I just am uncertain of what is there - I am a little dizzy from trying things.
How do I get to those DMPs?
Thank you again, I hope to work through this. I am fairly good about my systems but I am not educated well enough to do something with this.

I suggest you try booting your computer to safe mode and then try a system restore.
Shut the computer down and then as it is starting up press F8 until you get a start menu. (If you see the swilling windows then you missed it and will need to shut down again). Choose to start in safe mode.
Once in safe mode run a complete virus scan. Once the scan completes, type System Restore into the Start search box and select it to run. Hopefully there is a restore point prior to when the errors started ... restore to that point.
There are a few possibilities as to what is going on. #1 your computer was infected with a virus, #2 hardware failure, in which case none of this will help, #3 (this is what I am hoping for) your system may have been updated with an improper LAN driver which is preventing your connection & causing BSODs.
So if there is no virus and the system restore fixes your driver back to the old working one, then the next step would be to prevent windows update from reinstalling the bad driver. So post the results back here and if restore fixes things then I will tell you how to disable the driver update so it doesn't come back.

I had done multiple system restores to no avail. I did try again in the safe mode. No help yet.
In Safe Mode, I could not figure out how to do a complete virus scan. Windows Defender would not come up. I tried to get it through Help and the Start menu. In help, it just would not open, in start, it said there was no program. I tried to run it in the standard mode but it went to BSOD immediately.

It seems to me that when I loaded SpyHunter/RegHunter it was soon thereafter that the problems began. I thought I had gotten the nod to try these either here or some other trusted place. I could be mistaken. I never/rarely/used to download these things but I don't any more!!
bottom line: restore no help,
could not run a scan
getting terrible headache. . . .
In Safe Mode, I could not figure out how to do a complete virus scan. Windows Defender would not come up. I tried to get it through Help and the Start menu. In help, it just would not open, in start, it said there was no program. I tried to run it in the standard mode but it went to BSOD immediately.

**** End of log ****
It seems to me that when I loaded SpyHunter/RegHunter it was soon thereafter that the problems began. I thought I had gotten the nod to try these either here or some other trusted place. I could be mistaken. I never/rarely/used to download these things but I don't any more!!
bottom line: restore no help,
could not run a scan
getting terrible headache. . . .

Yes it is possible your issues could have been caused by Spyhunter or Reghunter. I personally have never recommended any registry cleaner except CCleaner (see our Freeware DB) and a quick search of W7forums indicates you are the first to mention Reghunter and only the second to ever mention Spyhunter. I do not know if either of them are malicious but any time you change the registry it is possible to damage how your system works and that's why the only one I trust is CCleaner. Even when using CCleaner I always recommend allowing it to back up the changes before they are made, so if anything needed is removed it can easily be restored.
There is a checkbox at the bottom of system restore to see older entries. Since you installed Spyhunter December 17th, see if there are any restore points that far back.
