Hi
What you have is an on-board Network Adapter. ( attached directly to the motherboard )
You do have empty PCI slots ( The white ones at the bottom of the right hand pic )
You could try a PCI NIC card ( previous post )
Alternatively you could borrow one or ask at a small pc repair shop if they have a used one you could buy cheap to try.
We are running out of options and really need to take the NIC out of the equation or confirm that it is at fault.
===========
You have a big build-up of dust that needs cleaning away.
I would do this outside.
Can of compressed air ( any computer shop ) or a soft brush.
Pay particular attention to the fans and vents.

I'm hoping that will be enough. I will give that a try when it arrives in a few days.
If that doesn't work i'll go for a PCI card.
Thanks for your help mate and i'll let you know if you were right.
