Windows 7 validation and updating issues, Diagnostic Tool included

Question
-
Hi,
I've been having problems with Windows 7 recently. Whenever I try to update the system, on the Windows Update page I get a message 'An error occurred while checking for new updates for your computer. Error(s) found: Code 80070003' therefore I am unable to update the system. Additionally, sometimes I get an announcement 'You might be a victim of software counterfeiting' and it redirects me to a Windows Genuine Validation website where I'm asked to perform a validation process. The problem is the process is on and on for a long time and never reaches its end. I'm 100% sure that I have a genuine copy of Windows 7, I also uninstalled the non-genuine Office Enterprise 2007 I had for a while, and run anti-malware scan using Microsoft® Windows® Malicious Software Removal Tool (KB890830) x64 (nothing found). Then I performed Microsoft Genuine Advatage Diagnostic Tool. Here are the results:

On a computer running Microsoft Windows non-core edition, run 'slui.exe 0x2a 0xC004F012' to display the error text. Error: 0xC004F012
The above error is a the only thing I see, try the following steps. If this doesn't help then use the link at the bottom to start a no cost support incident.
Typicly we advise you to run SFC if we see tampered files, I don't see that in your report but still recommend you run it.
SFC/system restore
type cmd in the search box of the start menu, right click on the icon that appears and type sfc /scannow without the qoutes and press enter, allow SFC to run, reboot when directed. If you get any error messages write them down exactly as they appear. After rebooting go to www.microsoft.com/genuine and attempt to validate.
If that does not work then type system restore in the search box, click on the resulting program and follow the wizards prompts to restore to a previous point prior to the non-genuine status.
If that does not work then start a no cost wga tech support incident at the following link http://support.microsoft.com/gp/contactwga

Download and install the Dell XPS 1340 System BIOS Update – Version A14. Afterward, visit Genuine Microsoft Software and click on Validate Windows. Let us know what result you obtained.
