BSOD suddenly appears whenever my laptop detects that i have internet connection when i plugged in the ethernet cable and restarts, everything runs normal when i plug the ethernet cable.

Has it always done this or has it just started? If it has just started I would run a virus/malware check. Have you installed any new software / hardware recently?

disable the wireless device for now since you're trying to plug in directly. and test it from there

you could do that. check for drivers for your wireless card as well. why couldnt you connect wirelessly at the food court? did your laptop not see any wireless networks or did you not have the proper permissions to connect?

i updated the wireless card driver and now it gets bsod when i try to plug in the cable even with the wireless card disabled and theres no way to roll back the driver
Try check your BIOS for something weird. I had a IBM PC in my company does that, it turns out, the mobo support network PC on/off. Meaning, the mobo allows remote restart/power on/power off to a PC. It is more of a business mobo. I didn't dig into it, but, the issue is resolved after I disabled network power feature.magicalclick
how do i do that

Forgive me saying this, but flashing the BIOS seems like a last-ditch effort IMO, especially considering it can potentially brick the OP's motherboard. I suggest at least trying a few other alternatives before risking a BIOS flash, unless the OP is perfectly willing to pay for a replacement should his current mobo be damaged.

I don't think he was implying that he should flash the BIOS. Just go into it and check the settings.
