The first place I would look is for updated XP drivers for your NIC. Then I would swap the NIC.

Once again, what do you mean by "repair" ? Please provide the 'what' and 'how' of what you did to make your internet connection going. Please help us to help you.

Help, my PC with Windows 10 won't shut down properly

Since upgrading to Windows 10 my computer won't shut down properly. I use the menu button shutdown and the screen goes blank, but the system does not fully shut down. The only way to get it to shut down is to hold the physical power button down till it shuts down. Any suggestions?
