Windows 10: Following a BSOD , cannot connect to internet and forces a Windows rei

Hi All! I've been dealing with a somewhat frustrating issue for the past several months and have tried almost everything I can think of to resolve it, yet still no luck. To begin, I have been getting fairly frequent BSOD (Windows 10) which I am also trying to debug, but I'll save the debugging of that for a different thread. The primary issue I'm having is after i get a BSOD and reboot my computer, I am no longer able to connect to the internet. The status of my wifi does show it is connected, but I am not able to load any webpages whatsoever. I have both ethernet and wifi and neither will work. I will list below the various things I've tried, with no success, to get my connection back online. The ONLY thing that works is if I completely "Reset This PC" , essentially reinstall windows fresh and in result go through the process of reinstalling all my programs from scratch. After all my troubleshooting, the only conclusion i can come to is that somehow the BSOD is causing corrupted windows files, as the only thing that solves this is reinstalling windows. All other devices in my house are able to connect to the internet and webpages completely fine. Here is a list of the things i've tried following a BSOD, again with no success:

1. Reinstall wifi adapater, including drivers
2. Perform various cmd prompt functions to refresh ip (/release , /renew, flushdns, netsh int ip reset, etc)
3. Reset Router/Modem
4. sfc /scannow
5. Windows Troubleshooter; results in something like "windows can't communicate with the device or resource (primary dns server)"
6. ping/tracert to 8.8.8.8 (seems to work)
7. nslookup (i do not get a timed out , or any other error)
8. No virus or malware
9. Replaced pcie wifi adapter hardware

The list above is what i could think of off the top of my head, i'm sure i've tried more but nothing works. Has anyone else had this issue or something similar?
