Does your CPU has integrated graphics? You can remove your GPU and then you test if the error still occurs to find out if your GPU has damage. You can also test a live system, to exclude issues in your OS or driver configuration

Which OS and GPU do you have in use?

You can run Memtest, just boot it and check the ram. Some Linux distros have memtest included in their bootable image (e.g. Ubuntu). Otherwise you can create a bootable stick with memtest by yourself.

That's it. I have installed Ubuntu many times connected over Wi-Fi without any problems, except one special case many years ago. In that case, the system had some brand new Wi-Fi adapter, so I had to install the driver over Ethernet. But in almost any case it just should work and you can simply try to get a wireless connection in a live sytem to find out. And as mentioned above, internet connection is not necessary while installing from USB stick with the usual image. Its just recommended to save time and install the latest updates of some components during the initial system installation. But of course, you can do it later and of course you can do it over Wi-Fi (except some very rare special cases as mentioned at the beginning).

Seit einigen Jahren nur noch Linux. Zum Programmieren und Arbeiten sowieso nur Linux. Privat hatte ich früher parallel Windows installiert, zum Zocken. Aber seit Steam mit Proton nen echt guten Job macht, und ich unter Linux vernünftig zocken kann, gibt es einfach keinen Bedarf mehr für Windows.
