problem is your hardware needs to be tested :/

it could be any number of things, motherboard, memory…

malfunctioning hardware causes computer to crash, but it’s hard to tell who is the culprit without specific diagnostic tools…

mr. repairman sounds like the way to go

it seems to be the Network Card.

look it up in the device manager (computer management - look up any ‘this computer’ icon and right click it -> manage) and right click -> disable and uninstall it.

if the problem is indeed your network card, this should take care of it.

all this assuming you have an alternative network card or wifi to get online with?

you could also try to find out if it has updated drivers, occasionally that works as well…
