Vanguard Crashes AMD Raid Config Device

Vanguard apparently doesn't like this device in device manager and crashes it every time I play Valorant. Because of this, Vanguard is stuck running in task manager where I cannot end the task, causing my pc to hang while shutting down. This is a completely fresh Windows install with the most recent RAID driver installed, so I am not sure what to do. Please help.

Also whenever this happens the device listed above crashes and the device gets a yellow exclamation mark above it like the device has been disabled

My specs are the AMD R5 7600x, 32 GB DDR5, RTX 5060, on Windows 25h2

@junimo sry for ping but i figured out what was causing the device manager crashes, i believe the current build of vanguard is interfering with the amd raid driver

blurpleOP•11/29/25, 12:22 AM

i can send u the driver i had

blurpleOP•11/29/25, 12:23 AM

if ur team needs to further research this

junimo•11/29/25, 2:59 AM

I think it’s because of some driver bug in the amd driver

junimo•11/29/25, 2:59 AM

Not sure what anticheat team can do about this

junimo•11/29/25, 3:00 AM

Because if anticheat skips the amd raid device by name, dma cheats are gonna spoof as it

blurpleOP•11/29/25, 3:00 AM

so.. what options are there

junimo•11/29/25, 3:01 AM

I think you just have to keep it disabled in bios

blurpleOP•11/29/25, 3:01 AM

i switched from raid to achi

junimo•11/29/25, 3:01 AM

That works

blurpleOP•11/29/25, 3:02 AM

i dont even have any sata devices installed so i dont even know why i had raid enabled

blurpleOP•11/29/25, 3:03 AM

but also i was playing for months with raid on so idk why its crashing now

Jjunimo That works

blurpleOP•11/29/25, 3:04 AM

would it be ok if i sent u the raid driver i had installed so u could send it to the proper teams? or is it something that u guys cant do anything about

junimo•11/29/25, 3:04 AM

You’d have to report it to amd

blurpleOP•11/29/25, 3:04 AM

alright then

junimo•11/29/25, 3:04 AM

Because other raid drivers don’t crash, just amd

blurpleOP•11/29/25, 3:05 AM

have there been any other reports of amd and vanguard drivers clashing

junimo•11/29/25, 3:05 AM

You are the first one afaik

blurpleOP•11/29/25, 3:05 AM

because i just want to know if vanguard or the driver is the common denominator here

Jjunimo You are the first one afaik

blurpleOP•11/29/25, 3:05 AM

i see

blurpleOP•11/29/25, 3:06 AM

well it sucks to be the pioneer i suppose

blurpleOP•11/29/25, 3:06 AM

ill get it reported to amd, however if you can then please look at the amd drivers just incase

blurpleOP•11/29/25, 3:14 AM

this is the driver i downloaded, you can find them on Asus’s website for the asus prime b650 plus wifi under the SATA section

blurpleOP•11/29/25, 3:19 AM

i guess ill considered it fixed for now, i played a whole swiftplay and i dont think the device crashed so i think im good
