Windows 10: BSOD vgk.sys valorant anticheat file

Just happen now, I was trying to get to valorant until BSOD came up on my screen. At the bottom it said "vgk.sys" which was a file for anticheat i think. I searched it up on the web but I could not find any information about it.Do i uninstall it or what?

:)

 

BSOD when games are open.

Attachment 140022 Here are the files. When I removed the anticheat programs from the verifier I didn't get any BSOD but I was lagging like crazy in windows. The anticheat programs was faceit.sys and eseadriver2.sys and gave me BSOD instantly.

 

Random BSOD Errors - For a Year

Did these happen immediately at boot or after the system was in a user session?

In 2 of the 3 dumps driver verifier detected an issue with vgk.sys, specifically "62, A driver has forgotten to free its pool allocations prior to unloading." This is otherwise known as a memory leak. Vgk.sys info:

11: kd> lmvm vgk

Browse full module list

start end module name

fffff801`445c0000 fffff801`44ae1000 vgk (no symbols)

Loaded symbol image file: vgk.sys

Image path: \??\C:\Program Files\Riot Vanguard\vgk.sys

Image name: vgk.sys

I have seen this cause more BSODs than I can count. In fact, it's becoming common these days to see all sorts of anti-cheat engines causing crashes in higher-end gaming PCs. These and other anti-cheat drivers are running in especially privileged area of the
Windows kernel. You can read about it here:

7 different BSoD

Hey guys,

I have a serious problem. I make it as short as possible:

• system runs 100 % fine with the 10.12
• updatet to Catalyst 11.1 -> BSoD
• updatet to 11.1 Hotfix -> BSoD
• rollback to 10.12 -> BSoD
• removed ALL AMD files manually, installed 10.12 -> BSoD

• Temps are fine
• no sfc /scannow errors
• no chkdsk errors
• Prime, Furmark all fine
• regardless what driver I install -> BSoD
• I did no hw changes, no OC

Here are my BSoDs I receive:

• 0x0000010e
• 0x1000007e
• 0x0000007e
• 0x0000004e
• 0x0000003b
• dxgmms1.sys
• PFN_LIST_CORRUPT

They all refer to the GPU of course ...

From now on I receive a BSoD every time I try to play a game (especially BC2 and SC II) even if I completely remove the old driver and make a clean install.
Apparently the 11.1 damaged my system irreparable.

Any advice or info would be very much appreciated *Smile
