Hey everyone, I just built my new PC that features 32GB of 6000MHz CL36 RAM, a Ryzen 5 7500F CPU, and an RX 9070 GPU. The issue I'm facing is that the entire system freezes whenever I start a match in Valorant. Aside from that, everything else works fine—like browsing and watching videos. Any idea what might be causing this? Thanks in advance for your help!

It sounds like a few things could be going on. First, try disabling XMP in your BIOS as that sometimes helps with stability issues. Also, make sure to reseat your RAM, check the temperatures of your CPU and GPU—they should be fine but it's good to verify—and ensure your GPU drivers are up to date. Just a heads-up, if you plan to update your BIOS, make sure you know what you're doing because it can be risky.
Definitely check your Windows event logs. If you see anything marked as critical, especially kernel power errors, note down the bug check code and its parameters. That info can really help identify what's going wrong.
Have you checked what power supply unit (PSU) you're using? A Delta 850W Platinum should generally handle your setup well, but it's good to confirm that it's in good condition and compatible.
