okok i have a potential solution * Update your graphics, network, and motherboard drivers, as outdated or incompatible drivers often cause this error. -> You can update drivers through Device Manager (search in Windows for it), or by visiting the official websites of your hardware manufacturers * Ensure your system is fully updated by checking for updates in Settings > Update & Security > Windows Update.
* If you’ve overclocked your CPU or GPU, revert to default settings, as overclocking can cause instability and crashes. * Run System File Checker (SFC) by opening Command Prompt as an administrator and typing: sfc /scannow ( This will scan and attempt to repair corrupt system files. ) * Run Windows Memory Diagnostic to test for RAM issues. -> Type “Windows Memory Diagnostic” in the Windows search bar, select it, and choose to restart your computer and check for problems. * Sometimes, antivirus software can conflict with games. Try temporarily disabling it to see if that resolves the issue. * Uninstall both Valorant and Riot Vanguard (the anti-cheat system), then reinstall them. Corrupted game files or Vanguard issues can trigger this error. (OPTIONAL) vv * Open Command Prompt as an administrator and type the following commands: netsh winsock reset netsh int ip reset ipconfig /release ipconfig /renew ipconfig /flushdns Restart your computer after running these commands. updating bios should be ur last resort bc it can brick ur pc. not always recommended. reach out to riot support if nothing works before you try to update bios tbh this worked with someone else same error hope it works for you

@nautilus If you get: - BSOD Stop Code: SYSTEM SERVICE EXCEPTION / PAGE FAULT IN NONPAGED AREA - Solution: Go to the path \windows\392667600.dat and delete 392667600.dat. - BSOD Stop Code: MEMORY MANAGEMENT / IRQL LESS THAN OR EQUAL - Turn off Memory Integrity temporarily until we find out why it is causing it. - Open Start and search for “Core Isolation”. - Toggle Memory Integrity to Off. - Restart your PC.
