adyav,

Thanks for letting us know! It sounds like the issue persists in safe mode as well.

Do you have any peripherals connected to your Mac when the issue occurs, like hard drives, docks, hubs, printers, etc? If so, try disconnecting those and test; does that make a difference?

If not, updating to the latest version of macOS Big Sur is a good next step. Be sure to back up beforehand:

How to update the software on your Mac

If the issue persists even after updating and testing without peripherals, see if you can replicate the issue in a newly-created administrator account next. This will tell you if you have a system-wide or user-specific issue, and will help work out a path forward. Here’s how to Set up users, guests, and groups on Mac.

Best wishes.
