Computer experiences BSOD while playing.
So, I reinstalled Valorant not too long ago, but I found out that it would Bluescreen my computer and force a restart after a little bit of playing. I've only seen it happen if I'm alt-tabbed out of the game, but it may occur whilst actively playing as well.
It doesn't look like a traditional BSOD, either. This one's weird; it overlays over the game window, but not the entire screen. I created a mock-up of how it looks. How do I solve this?

Extra information:
I play on Windows 11; and it is on the latest update.
This issue only started popping up when I reinstalled the game again, not long ago, somewhere in October.
Bumping up

I used to get that while i had 8 gigs of ram. Then I upgraded to 16 gigs and it was solved.
CPU: 13th Gen i5-13400F

That all you need?
the bsod caused by latest valorant update the devs knows about it
Ah. Is there an estimated time it'll be fixed?
Hiya, I have been seeing these pop up frequently as of recent and from what I have read it is caused by a Vanguard update. It is something that is actively being looked into to resolve. The temporary fix for many was turning off "Memory integrity" in the "Core isolation" tab (searched for in task bar) Once off and having your pc restarted to apply the change, it will hopefully work. Please note that as it states in the screenshot, "Memory integrity" is a safety feature, therefore I would highly advise to turn it back on once done playing.
for anyone having the BSOD issues, please contact player support and send the following, it will help us determine if the issue is on our end.
