I'm having a really frustrating issue with Valorant that's causing my PC to crash and show a Blue Screen of Death (BSOD). I've already uninstalled everything related to the game, including Vanguard, but the problem is still happening. It seems to work fine with other games, but when I play Valorant, I usually get a 'kernel security check failure' error. Once, I even saw an 'IRQL not less than or equal' message. Does anyone have any suggestions on how to fix this?

Another option you could try is reporting the issue directly to the Valorant developers. They may have a fix or be aware of similar issues affecting players. Have you considered that yet?
First off, it sounds like you'll need to grab some dump files for a better analysis of what's causing the BSOD. If you can boot into Windows normally or through Safe Mode, check the C:WindowsMinidump folder for any dump files. If you find some, zip them up and upload to a file-sharing site like catbox.moe or mediafire.com. The more dump files you have, the better it is for figuring things out. Also, make sure to configure your settings for small memory dumps if you can. That helps in giving us clearer data to work with.
Yeah, I actually opened a support ticket with Riot already. Hopefully, they can help.
