VGK.sys bricks my pc

for context I have a 4090 and 13900k and i don't know why but playing or just even whilst I'm doing other stuff I get a bluescreen for VGK.SYS SYSTEM THREAD EXCEPTION NOT HANDLED its pretty ridiculous because this happens even from opening the damn riot client, not a clue what is causing it since malwarebites picks up no problems with my pc and it did it pre and post factory resetting a while back

I'd contact riot support about the issue and wait to hear their troubleshooting guides

I followed their troubleshooting but im not interested in uninstalling and reinstalling the game just to have my pc work outside of valorant, in reality is riot client isn't even open why does vanguard have to have my pc by a chokehold? never had faceit AC brick my pc over just using the computer as normal takes an hour and a half to uninstall and reinstall the game, I don't have the best wifi because its not available where I am so uninstalling and reinstalling is a massive pain in my ass
