Windows 10: Valorant causes vgk.sys DLL causing BSOD

Hi, I've had some issues regarding Riot game's Vanguard "Vgk. sys" DLL file in which the BSOD presents itself with the Stop code "Kmode _Exception_Not_Handled" I've tried things such as giving Valorant Administrator perms or adding some files into exception for the firewall while trying to solve a different problem but can't seem to understand what keeps causing the blue screens for this. For context I was playing the game with No issue present about three months ago when I took a break and when I came back to update the game I started getting all of these issues I haven't even been able to op

:)

 

QCAMAIN1.SYS CAUSING BSOD

This was probably caused by the following module:
qcamain1.sys (Qcamain10x64+0x108678)

Bugcheck code: 0x1D3 (0x333, 0x0, 0x0, 0x0)

Error: CUSTOM_ERROR

A third party driver was identified as the probable root cause of this system error. It is suggested you look for an update for the following driver: qcamain1.sys .

Google query: qcamain1.sys CUSTOM_ERROR

Using WhoCrashed I found this thread: Redirecting however without
solution, locked.

I did get BSOD almost everytime I moved the laptop.

This worked for me:

unscrew wifi module, push a little into the socket. Screw in. DONE

 

BSOD when closing valorant

Just for information in case others see it as the cause, it's not the process that caused the exception, the process is shown because in that process the exception was raised. Because in a process a lot of stuff can happen (e.g. networking, I/O operations, ....), the process itself should not be considered as the cause. If you check the call stack, it shows that a driver, vgk, makes a call to free pool. Code:

Looking specifically at the instruction where the problem occurred, unless my memory is off and the relevant register's value is not saved during a crash, this looks to be subtracting (rsi address - 0Dh) with an address not pointing to anything which isn't possible. Because of the IRQL in parameter 2 of the bugcheck in combination with this operation the crash occurs. Code:

The vgk driver looks to be from the anticheat software used by Valorant. Definitely contact Valorant support about this.

 

BSOD Hardware Caused???

they do weird things like that, which all seem like something else is failing.
One of the worst things to diagnose, they seem to only quit when they want to.

Memtest is a good next step, if you rule out RAM and Power Supply make sure you disconnect all unnecessary peripherals and try to start the system with as little hardware as possible, if it works then, you can narrow down the culprit by trial and error.

the follow was taken from some website:

It's very difficult to determine if a failure is caused by the CPU because many other components can cause the same symptom when they fail.

1. System fails to boot
2. System re-boots intermittently
3. General Protection Fault
4. Illegal Operation
5. Stop Error, or BSoD (Blue Screen OfDeath)

Actually, CPUs rarely fail, and about the only way to determine if the CPU is causing the failure is to swap it out with a known working CPU of the same type and speed. Since this is difficult, the best bet is to first rule out every other possibility.

Before suspecting the CPU, rule out all the possibilities listed below.

1. The Operating System
2. A peripheral port device
3. A bad memory module
4. The hard disk drive
5. The power supply
6. The motherboard

If you have ruled out out all the other possibilities, investigate the items listed below.

1. Overheating
2. A short circuit
3. ESD
