Windows 10: Valorant Crashing, Graphics Driver Issue/GameBar?

Hello, I'm having an issue where my pc crashes every 5 minutes when loading certain applications, usually games like Valorant. Windows event viewer says this: The server Windows.Gaming.GameBar.PresenceServer.Internal.PresenceWriter did not register with DCOM within the required timeout. but even after uninstalling game bar, the problem is still there. I reinstalled my drivers, using DDU as well, and downloaded directX, disabled my integrated CPU display driver, redownloaded Valorant, disabled all overclocking, but still did not fix the i

Graphics driver crashed and unsupported graphics driver.

This problem only happened after updating to windows 11. While I was playing valorant, it crashed randomly. Stating that my graphics driver crashed. At first I didnt think that this was a major issue so I didnt put a deep thought into it. After a few days, I played left 4 dead 2. This is where things went down horribly. Almost every game, my gpu crashes. It says "graphics driver crashed or unsupported graphics card. Please make sure that you have installed an updated graphics card" or something like that. But here's the catch. I have the latest graphics card driver available. I thought that updating to windows 11 was the problem so I decided to downgrade to windows 10 but my 1 week was over. So i instead reinstalled windows to go back to windows 10. The problem still persists when i play games. So i considered that this was an overheating issue so I pasted new thermal paste. It didnt work. The error is still there.

The issue might occur due to incompatibility of drivers.

  Click on programs.

  Select Programs compatibility Troubleshooter
  and follow the on screen instructions.
  

If the issue still persist kindly go to the below link and click on
Auto Detect on GPU. It will automatically detect the latest updated graphic driver.
