Valorant keeps Freezing my WHOLE PC
Whenever I open/close Valorant it freezes my whole PC, causing me to shut it off and power it back on. Also sometimes happens when I tab out of Valorant. Anyone else have this problem and/or know how to solve it?

Experiencing system freezes with Valorant can be frustrating. Here are some steps you can try to resolve this issue:
1. Update Graphics Drivers: Ensure you have the latest graphics drivers installed from NVIDIA or AMD.
2. Check System Requirements: Make sure your system meets the minimum requirements for Valorant.
3. Close Background Applications: Some background apps can interfere with Valorant. Close unnecessary programs like Discord, Chrome, or other resource-heavy applications.
4. Adjust In-Game Settings: Lowering graphical settings in Valorant might help. Reduce settings like texture quality, or disable features like VSync.
5. Run as Administrator: Try running Valorant and the Riot Client as an administrator. Right-click the executable and select 'Run as administrator'.
6. Disable Overlays: Disable overlays from apps like Discord, GeForce Experience, or Windows Game Bar.
7. Check for Overheating: Ensure your PC isn’t overheating. Clean your fans and consider using monitoring software to check temperatures.
8. Reinstall Valorant and Vanguard: Uninstall Valorant and Riot Vanguard. Reboot your system, then reinstall.
