Hi,
The nldrv.sys appears to be involved in a couple of the crashes.
The nldrv.sys appears to be a Netlimiter driver.
Can you temporarily uninstall Netlimiter and see if the BSODs resolve.

Hello,
I have been having some annoying issues ever since I rebuilt my PC and switched to AMD back in July. When I am doing anything slightly demanding on my computer, usually chatting in discord or playing a game, sometimes, randomly, (maybe once every hour or 4 hours) I will get a stutter. Video and audio, along with the RGB lighting in my case will get choppy for a few seconds and then return to normal. I've been able to deal with it because it hasn't really affected my use of my computer, albeit annoying. But now, tonight and yesterday, I have been playing the Call of Duty: Modern Warfare 2 Beta and it has crashed 3 times while playing this game. Not just a soft crash, but a full-on BSOD, and actually sometimes it doesn't even present a BSOD, it just freezes, everything goes black, and restarts. It has however made dumps of each error (I will upload those so you can see, I can't really decipher them). I am starting to think that my graphics card is the culprit, but I find it terribly hard to believe. It is less than a year old and has never been overclocked. It hits its thermal junction of 83 degrees when gaming and I have never tampered with it since. Actually, it has been slightly undervolted. But I also removed that while playing this certain game and it still crashed. This also happened once on Hitman 3 about 2 months back, but at the time I had just figured it was a random issue and didn't come back until now.
I could be going crazy. It could be that it is just because it is a beta and that there are extreme issues with the code or whatever, but none of my friends are having BSOD errors, just regular crashes. I will upload the .dmp files for someone with better eyes to see if they can point me in the right direction! I would say I am rather skilled in computer hardware but this one is just confusing me. I also have reason to suspect that it could be my RAM, but I did a Memtest and it came back with 0 errors, so that threw a wrench in that idea.

Ryzen 9 5900X

Any information would be greatly appreciated!

.Looking at raw stack of each error show the presence of the nldrv.sys in two of the errors.
Also, the nldrv.sys has been implicated in similar errors such as:

That appeared to help the BSOD, thank you! So far so good. It did not remove the intermittent stuttering but like I said I don't really care about that. maybe it has something to do with me switching to AMD and using the same OS install, causing some sort of conflict driver wise.
I am curious, if you mind telling, how did you find that the nldrv.sys driver was causing the issue? I tried to figure out for myself using BSOD viewer and windbg preview, but it only ever pointed to cod.exe that was crashing, which i assumed wasn't right. How do you decipher those BSOD dumps?
