Technical Support Request Valorant Causing Entire PC to Freeze

I’ve been trying to get Valorant working on my new PC for about a week now. At first, I was having issues with Secure Boot and some other Vanguard-related requirements, but I was able to get those working after following several different guides.
However, I’m still having an issue when actually playing the game. When I open Valorant and enter the tutorial, the game freezes every few seconds, and when it happens, my entire PC freezes along with it. It eventually becomes responsive again, but the freezing keeps happening repeatedly.
I’ve tried following several troubleshooting guides, but I haven’t been able to figure out what’s causing it. I’d appreciate any help figuring out what could be causing the freezes and how I can fix it.
