Valorant keeps crashing every time I have it open

Whenever I open Valorant it works fine, but the second I queue a match, if I open ANYTHING else, it crashes my whole PC

It sounds like your issue might be due to system resource conflicts or conflicts with other applications. Here are some steps to troubleshoot: 1. Update Drivers: Make sure your graphics card and other system drivers are up to date. 2. Run as Administrator: Run both VALORANT and the Riot Client as an administrator. 3. Close Background Applications: Ensure there are no other resource-heavy applications running in the background when you play VALORANT. 4. Check System Requirements: Ensure your PC meets the minimum system requirements for VALORANT. 5. Reinstall VALORANT and Vanguard: Uninstall and then reinstall both VALORANT and Riot Vanguard to ensure there are no corrupted files. 6. Firewall/Antivirus: Make sure VALORANT is allowed through your firewall and antivirus. If the problem persists, you might want to visit the Riot Games support site for a more detailed investigation: Riot Games Support.
