So, I recently tried out Linux and while I like it, I really miss being able to play Valorant. I decided to switch back to Windows, but now I'm facing multiple blue screen errors like "IRQL not less or equal," "KMOD Exception not handled," and "Attempted Write to readonly memory." I've done quite a bit to try and fix it: I've changed and cleaned my RAM slots, installed all the drivers I could find, and even reinstalled Windows about five times! This blue screen issue usually happens when I'm gaming or downloading something—about 70% of the time. When I leave my PC idle, it seems fine. Does anyone know how to resolve this?

It sounds like there might still be some leftover driver issues from your Linux installation. After switching back, did you check how much space is available on the drive that has your swap file? Sometimes if the virtual memory is low, it can cause these kinds of errors.
I didn't check that because I thought it managed automatically. I actually deleted all traces of Linux when I installed Windows again, so I'm not really sure.
