Hey everyone, I've been having issues with my Wi-Fi disconnecting whenever I play certain games, specifically Valorant and Fortnite. My setup uses Ethernet, so I don't lose connection during gaming, but when I switch to Wi-Fi, everything works fine. However, if I just try to play these games without being connected, I get an error that disables my Wi-Fi. I fixed it once using Device Manager and Windows troubleshooting, but the problem keeps coming back. The error I've been getting is LiveKernelEvent Code: 144, which says there might be a hardware issue. I've made sure to update all my drivers, including my AMD 7800XT GPU, and I've tested my RAM without any issues. What could be going wrong?

It's interesting that this is only happening with those two games. Have you tried adjusting your network settings or checking if you have the latest drivers for your Wi-Fi adapter? Sometimes updating the motherboard or Wi-Fi adapter firmware can solve these sorts of issues too. If you don't mind using Ethernet, that might be your most stable option until you can get to the bottom of the problem. Good luck!
I've seen this kind of problem before, where users experienced crashes or connectivity issues when playing games. In some cases, it was tied to having both Ethernet and Wi-Fi enabled. One user had to disable Wi-Fi entirely when playing to avoid problems, as the Wi-Fi driver would crash during gameplay. Perhaps you could try that approach and see if it helps. Also, check your Wi-Fi driver version; it might be worth reinstalling it or rolling back to a previous version if you're having these troubles specifically with Fortnite and Valorant.
