Windows 10: Computer freezing when playing Valorant!

Been experiencing an issue where my PC begins to freeze and become unresponsive when playing Valorant. This happens while alt tabbing and when remaining in game. Tried a bunch of hotfixes but to no avail. Pretty sure it's software related since I'm not experiencing this issue on any other game.

PC Blue screens after opening Valorant, programs freeze after wake

I have 2 problems:

1. My computer has blue screens every time I launch Valorant for the first time.
   
   • Since my computer has been freezing, I've shut it down whenever I leave my desk.
     
   • After launching Valorant, my computer's blue screens
     
   • When I restart, Valorant launches normally for the rest of that session
     
   • Once I shut my computer down manually, Valorant BSODs me on the next open
     
2. My computer ALWAYS freezes after waking up from sleep or hibernation. My mouse can still move, all programs are frozen, however. Oddly enough, I can still pause/resume my music on Spotify and hear it. It seems like every program doesn't update the visuals only. I also disconnect from any discord call. To prevent this, I have to shut down my PC.
   

Some things I have already tried:

• Powershell commands
  
• Editing my power plan
  
• Restarting
  
• Downloading windows updates
  
• Using windows troubleshooter
  
• Turning off hardware acceleration
  

Please help! This has been annoying me since early last year, and it's getting worse. I will try every method that you suggest, please reply if I ask for clarification!

 

Valorant BSOD - Error Code: Page Fault In Nonpaged Area

Hi, yesterday I started getting BSOD when Trying to play Valorant, it seems to be a Memory related issue. I've tried every possible solution so far but I´d like to see if anyone can help me with this.

• When does this happen ?
  
  • When trying to play the game, during gameplay my monitors will turn almost black with high contrast and freeze for a few seconds before restarting my PC.
    
• What Code does Windows Reliability Monitor show ?
  
  • Code: 0x00000050
    
• My Dump Files:
  
  • 121522-12234-01.dmp
    

So far I´ve tried:

1. Giving vgk.sys access to everything
   
2. Setting Valorant to "Run as Administrator"
   
3. Reinstalling Valorant
   

Things I haven't checked:

1. Re inserting RAM sticks
   

EDIT: This is only happening with Valorant, no other game is giving me the same problem, so I assume re installing the Ram will not have much of an effect.
