vgk.sys BSOD Error
Most of the times when I try launching valorant, I get a BSOD with the error code PAGE_ FAULT_IN_NONPAGED_AREA and it says that vgk.sys failed. How do I fix this?

Mostly using Windows Insider Build causes this issue
Perform a Clean install of Windows 10/11 stable should fix that
I don't have it active.
do u have antivirus
I use windows defender

In order to get Vanguard, VALORANT’s anti-cheat, to work on your computer you most enable secure boot and TPM 2.0. Here are some resources that will assist you in the process:

Please walk me through the whole process.
Do you mind?
Or should I just do it on my own
I reinstalled windows 10
I'll try starting val tmrw
Ok
When I get back from school
It took me a while to do this so if this does not work, idk what will
It works but at a cost
I got a penalty 😭
@mythea @Saucywan it's another error now help
what error
Ran out of memomory while trying to allocate a rendering source
I increased the Virtual Memory but didn't fix
I tried reducing the resolution but that doesn't help as well
what your gpu
NVS 4200 MQ
the who
?
can be pagefile or vram issue
How to fix
wtf is this
the fuck
An old NVIDIA gpu
is a nvs 4200 mq
ugh yeah
it's ur vram size issue
it only has 1gb of vram
1gb
How to fix
You can't
all low + 720p maybe
MAYBE
Will I never get to play valorant again <:Phoenix_Sad:891497548819337286>
ughm it actually will uses shared vram (from ur dram) if it ran out of dedicated vram
possibly
What's a dram
Nvm
ur ram
Anyway to fix?
or called memory
win+r, dxdiag
show info
yes
u can choose no actually
it just checks if the driver is whql logo'd
press display
u can try increasing ur ram size
it's ddr3 if I'm not mistaken
so 2x8gb sodimm ddr3 ram
pretty cheap these days
vram: 468mb
Yep
wait bruh
did u install ur gpu driver?
Yes
it isn't showing up there
ur dedicated gpu driver
Idk why
not only ur igpu driver
I used a windows update

one consumer driver one studio driver
Welp this will take a while
but the consumer driver is badly outdated
released on 2017
maybe the studio driver will be better
What's the difference other than release date
still, it's a 2021 driver so don't expect much
If it works, it's a W
more recent, more bug fixes, stable and more features? maybe
Ic
Which ones studio
bottom
second
alr
pls dont tell me its 3d vision ready driver or smthn
coz that thing doesnt run on my laptop
tried it before the reinstall
done with the install
now what
restart ur pc n launch ur pc
?
launch ur game I mean
typo
lmao
don't launch it with a rocket launcher
Lol
Hey it came up
Dam I'm learning so many things using this replacement thing
I hope issues won't happen again coz if they do, I'm gonna come back
More flipping errors
Aaaaaa
Like?
More vgk.sys BSOD
Back to square one
I think is about time to say that it may be better just to get a new pc
Also the game just crashes randomly
You really think my parents will allow that?
Valorant's the only main thing
I really wanna play it
I have to reach silver again
Atleast silver
You would get a way better experience
I know
But I have no choice
My other laptop with no errors has a MB issue and it's getting old too
Aaaaa
Your using a laptop?
Yep
Ok
Is this your other laptop?
nop
same one
other one doesnt even turn on
Your drive is dying
then
wdym
my drive is just fine... right?
No, its mostly likely dying
Open cmd as admin
wmic diskdrive get status
Status is OK
hm
ok maybe not
time to do the classic old sfc
install drivers
are u sure u installed every single driver?
including acpi, chipset drivers
also does ur manufacturer offer windows 10 drivers?
I think no? it's pretty old
use SDIO and check for drivers
did the mobo died
ehmm
well it's pretty rare
what did u do before it died
firmware update?
if yes, u can flash ur bios using a spi programmer physically
u will need another pc
and yeah, that one u are currently using is going to act as the pc
It was a miracle you even played Valorant at all
damn bro that celeron b830 is bottlenecking my ssd lol
it's even on win7
should install linux on it, but it's for my grandpa :/
I have another penalty 😭
