I attached a screenshot of my sensors panel because I didn't see what you described.

Also I don't understand your first direction:

"On the left side click on one at a time of the following and then on the right, copy and paste the information in your next reply"

Click on one of what of the following? Did you just want motherboard or something else too

Some malware can't be removed just by formatting. In any case it could be something you are installing that is introducing a infection back into your system. Since it is not fixed even after formatting and installing just the OS with nothing else then it is either a bad OS disk or bad installation or some type of infection.

Just thought of something else you can try.
ok I need you to do the following and let me know what it says

Let's make sure all drives are using DMA mode

Click the Start and then Right click My Computer
Select Manage and In the Computer Management window, select Device Manager
In the right pane, click to expand IDE ATA/ATAPI controllers
The click on the + sign next to your Hard drive controllers on both the Primary Controller and Secondary Controller
Right click on the drive and select Properties
Click the Advanced Settings tab
In the Transfer Mode box open the drop down menu and select DMA if available
Redo the steps to check each of the Controllers
Click OK and exit all windows
Reboot to make sure all settings take affect. Reply back with your results

You either have the bios looking for a network on bootup or the hard drive itself or ribbon is faulty or failing.

Being a laptop then a ribbon is probably not the correct way to describe it. The correct way would be the connector from hd to laptop then.

In most cases it would indicate a failing hd...
Did you ever check the bios to see if there was a entry for the system booting to a network?

I think the reason it tries to network boot is because all other boot options fail. There is no option to disable the network boot.
