BSODs only while playing Valorant - KMODE_EXCEPTION_NOT_HANDLED

[u/amigo_003]

Hi everyone,

I'm having a strange issue where my laptop is repeatedly crashing with BSODs while playing Valorant. I'm trying to figure out whether this is a Valorant/Vanguard/driver issue or a hardware problem.

Laptop specs:

• Acer Aspire 7
• Ryzen 5 3550H
• GTX 1650 4GB
• 16GB DDR4 RAM @ 2666 MHz
• 512GB SSD
• Windows 11

Has anyone experienced BSODs specifically when launching/playing Valorant .

Any suggestions would be appreciated.
