Valorant causes vgk.sys DLL causing BSOD

Riot already posted a semi/temp solution to this: https://support-leagueoflegends.rio...Troubleshooting-13900k-14900k-processors-only

It was a temporary fix for me as it only lasted a few hours but it definitely reduced the BSOD.

To avoid this (if you are not playing any Riot games):

1. exit the vgtray (Vanguard)

2. go into services and stop the service vgc

This should prevent from BSOD. To play Riot games simply revert 1 and 2.

Hoping Riot to release the fix asap.

 

My computer is force restarting when trying to play valorant, even after re-installing everything related to the game

Hi, thank you for patiently waiting, as per checking and analyzing the DMP files you have, there is an error vgk.sys, this is the Vanguard kernel-mode driver or the Vanguard driver from Riot games, if you have games like Valorant I suggest reinstalling it and check again, if the issue persists, kindly follow the steps from this link:

I am having issues with Valorant and Riot Client

Hi, How are you? I am Alan. I will be happy to assist you today. I appreciate your contact!

Let's resolve issues with uninstalling Valorant and Riot Client.

First, try using the uninstaller program built into the software itself. Navigate to the Valorant and Riot Client installation folder and look for a file called "uninstall.exe" or something similar. Run it and follow the instructions to uninstall the software.

If the above method doesn't work, you can try using a third-party program like Revo Uninstaller. This software is effective to remove stubborn programs completely. Download and install Revo Uninstaller, open it, find Valorant and Riot Client in the list of installed programs, and use Revo to uninstall them. Revo will also search for and remove any residue left in the registry and file system.

Make sure all folders and files related to Valorant and Riot Client are removed.

Finally, you can use the Windows Disk Cleanup tool to ensure that all temporary files and debris are removed. Search for "Disk Cleanup" in the Start menu, select the C: drive, and check all the boxes to perform a complete cleanup.

I hope this information helps. If you have any questions, please let me know and I'll be glad to assist you further.

Best,

Alan
