Does the LAN cable work or not ?

Probably best , you might even get lucky and he finds something loose/disconnected/misaligned or loads of fluff inside causing it to overheat, Good luck , please let us know if he heals it for you or simply condemns it.

So its NOT a WIFI or LAN issue , it's a NETWORKING issue . Which is going to be 1 of 2 things , either the Motherboard is going faulty or the OS is badly hurt for some reason , it maybe time to do a clean install of Win 10 , as Networking issues like this can be really hard to diagnose and fix...

So are you saying the LAN disconnects the same as WIFI does when you use Laptop to play games online ?

Does it have warranty then ? If not I would try a LAN cable first so you can be certain that the issue is with the wifi only , before taking a visit to the service centre , if anything it will help them diagnose the issue if you can be sure its a wifi problem , and not an issue with your router...

If you bang in LAN cable is it ok ? Go to settings via device manager and check wireless card is set to full bandwidth 20/40 Mhz or 40/80 Mhz , if its 2.4 or 5 Ghz respectively. Also de-tick box for "allow windows to turn off this device to save power " in these settings. Is Wifi card...

I assume you have legacy as well as UEFI selected by looking at your first post pic , have you tried only selecting 1 option , to say force UEFI load or Legacy load ? Have you got Samsung Magician loaded ? Checking the firmware is up to date and Health of drive with this may give some clues ...

Have you tried simply disabling Cortana to see if it helps , some PC's don't play fair with Cortana if she isn't configured correctly , you can always re enable if it makes no difference but may get you closer to a clue as to why its doing it.

TBH with 6GB RAM that should be plenty for games etc , I would go for CPU first or SSD second or both if you feel rich :) Plus when changing CPU it will allow you to clean out dust and debris from heat exchanger ( radiator ) that you normally can't get to , remember the hotter Laptop runs the...

If after trying above nothing improves , remove the data cable on ALL extra drives apart from CD/DVD drive and try running some BOOTREC commands , this may fix any corrupted special boot files...

Try this on youtube : Toshiba Satellite C50 cpu upgrade View: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=jr3xytU_zu8 Seems to be quite an easy change if you've done 1 or 2 before , but even first time change would be easy if taken at a sensible pace , no special tools needed , screw driver , cpu and...

Make sure anything important is backed up , asap . Your SSD may be failing :( Run a Health Check on SSD. Try using chkdsk /f /r to see if it has bad sectors or corrupted files ? Could be something silly like a damaged MFT , or extra boot files on the other drives confusing things ? Run a...

Always worth a quick email , he will probably know what it is off the top of his head ;) and could suggest a replacement you could source more local to you , though tbh an airmailed diode in an envelope aint gonna cost much .

If you are really stuck go onto youtube and search " Louis Rossmann " he runs a business in USA fixing MAC's , he also does lots of instructional videos on fixing them , he would know exactly what you need to know , he has access to ALL Apple circuit diagrams and component layouts , he also...

Have you checked if there is a Hardware switch for the BT / WIFI , my HP has it via Fn + f2 so effectively a keyboard ON/OFF switch , a clue is the message saying that you need to enable it even though it shows in Device Manager. Have a good look at upper keyboard icons and see if you see one...
