NetBT 4311 Error causing new computer to restart

Hi there,

Recently built my first PC and I have been getting the following two 4311 NetBT errors which causes my PC to restart, this happens only when playing Valorant.

Windows 10 64 bit

Initialization failed because the driver device could not be created. Use the string "000000000100320000000000D71000C013010000250200C000000000000000000000000000000000" to identify the interface for which initialization failed. It represents the MAC address of the failed interface or the  Globally Unique Interface Identifier (GUID) if NetBT was unable to  map from GUID to MAC address. If neither the MAC address nor the GUID were  available, the string represents a cluster device name.

It represents the MAC address of the failed interface or the  Globally Unique Interface Identifier (GUID) if NetBT was unable to  map from GUID to MAC address. If neither the MAC address nor the GUID were  available, the string represents a cluster device name. 

I really have no idea what this means and trying to Google a fix has lead me nowhere. Any insight would be greatly appreciated. 

Thank you

    Funny thing, same network (internet) connection issues (commonly after system shutdowns). Using SurfShark for the few days. Reseting network solves the issue. Haven't uninstalled SurfShark yet.

    I am suspecting my NordVPN causing the BSOD and restarts then I came through this forum.

    The issue happen after I install NordVPN.

    I will uninstall it.

    Same issue playing Lord Of The Rings Online. It doesn't happen every day though, but often enough to be really annoying.
