Windows 10: Why does my Valorant keep crashing after replacing a monitor with a new one? Pixio PX248 WAVE

I've been experiencing an issue where, whenever I log in and launch the game, it opens on the wrong screen. Additionally, when I reach the game menu and click on play, settings, or any other options, the game freezes. Despite the freeze, I can still hear the game sounds and the button clicks are registering. I've tried several troubleshooting steps including: Uninstalling and reinstalling the game Restarting my PCUpdating my graphics drivers Updating Windows Ensuring the game is using the correct graphics cardDoing a clean boot Unfortunately, none of these solutions have resolved the problem.

Connecting Windows 11 Laptop to External Pixio Monitor?

Hi all! Does anyone know if it's possible to connect a Lenovo Yoga 7i laptop running on Windows 11 to an external Pixio monitor? My driver has been updated and cords and power sources should be working, but my laptop has been unable to detect a signal from the monitor. Has anyone had this issue or figured out a way around this? My Lenovo (or maybe just the windows operating system) has been incredibly finicky in terms of what it's externally compatible with, so any advice is much appreciated!

 

all games crash!

I suggest you run rthdribl > http://www.daionet.gr.jp/~masa/archives/rthdribl_1_2.zip
Increase the window size step by step and watch your vga temps permanently.
What happens?
If it crashes, run at stock speeds as suggested before and retry.

P.S.: When your system locks, does the display signal turn off after a time?
Stuttering sound or no sound at all when freezing?
What X1800XT model do you own exactly?

Hello, Saint Meow

Welcome to Microsoft Community.

I’m sorry to hear that you’re having trouble playing Valorant. It sounds like you’ve tried a lot of possible solutions, but none of them worked. I appreciate your patience and persistence. Based on the information you provided, I have some suggestions that might help you fix the black screen issue. Please note that these are not guaranteed to work, but they are worth a try.

One possible cause of the black screen issue is a conflict between Valorant and your antivirus software. Some antivirus programs may block or interfere with Valorant’s files, causing the game to crash or freeze. To prevent this, you can try temporarily disabling your antivirus software before launching Valorant. You can also add Valorant and its folder to your antivirus’s exception list, so that it won’t scan or block them. Remember to turn on the antivirus later.

Another possible cause of the black screen issue is a corrupted or missing game file. Sometimes, the game files may get damaged or deleted due to various reasons, such as power outages, disk errors, or malware infections. To fix this, you can try running the Riot Games Client’s repair tool, which will scan and repair any corrupted or missing game files.

A third possible cause of the black screen issue is an incompatible display mode. Some players reported that switching between windowed mode and fullscreen mode helped them resolve the black screen issue. This will allow you to switch between the windowed mode and fullscreen mode.

A fourth possible cause of the black screen issue is a problem with your DirectX version. DirectX is a set of software components that allow games and other applications to interact with your hardware, such as your graphics card, mouse, keyboard, and speakers. If your DirectX version is outdated or corrupted, it may cause Valorant to crash or freeze. To fix this, you can try updating your DirectX version to the latest one available for your Windows version.

Besides, some users have reported that Vanguard interferes with computer processes and can cause high CPU usage, leading to system freezes and restarts. You could try temporarily disabling Vanguard to see if that resolves the issue.

Some other possible causes of the issue include CPU overheating, a faulty power supply, crashes due to overclocking, or running out of GPU memory. You could try monitoring your CPU temperature and checking your power supply to see if either of those are causing the problem.
