Valorant crashes my PC after launch
This started happening like 10 days before Waylay came out. Every time I try to boot up Valorant now, I get a BSOD after about 1 minute no matter what I'm doing: in the lobby, the range, queueing, or even while leaving the game running in the background.
I've tried reinstalling, running the game with no other services or unimportant processes in the background and everything but nothing seems to work.
No mention of vgk.sys on the BSOD whatsoever, which tells me it shouldn't be exactly Vanguard but something else in the game?

Game freezes after a few mins
I recently had an issue where my game would crash my PC every time I opened it, after a few seconds in the loading screen. After talking to the Riot Support, turns out the issue was that I had my game installed in my secondary drive, so I reinstalled it on my main drive and it opens correctly now. However, after a few minutes of being in the game, whether I'm in the main menu, in The Range, in a match, or even if I have the game minimized, my computer freezes completely and I have to reboot.
I already asked Riot about this but I'm also asking here if anybody has ran into this issue before.

Valorant BSOD on launch
Not sure if this is a common issue for some people, but I've looked a bit into it and it seems like quite a bit of people run into this problem.
My PC runs like normal, even with Vanguard running in the background, but the moment I launch Valorant, after a few seconds in the initial loading screen, I get a BSOD. I assume the issue is related to Vanguard but I can't really be too sure. All my drivers are up to date, and here's my specs if they are of any help:
CPU: i7 920 (Yeah I know it's old as hell)
GPU: Radeon RX 570
RAM: 12GB, DDR3
Windows 10
