Random restarts under load (?) idek

[Mqisty]

My PC randomly restarts (full black screen) when I launch VALORANT, this doesn't always happen so it is very hard to test. I also get random freezes in game and my audio will glitch out every so often, I've tried looking at task manager when this happens but I don't notice anything. The only noticeable thing that happens is that my GPU will light up white once when it shuts off.

I've tried using basically every test in OCCT for an hour each, I thought it was my PSU since it's nearly 10 years old but I've ran the power test many times and its never shut off and the voltages have all seemed fine. I've also tried Memtest86 overnight but that came back just fine. I get no logs in Windows. I am on the latest BIOS.

OS: Windows 10 22H2

It only happens in Valorant? It uses evil kernel level anticheat and that just might crash your drivers.

Really!? F***ing Valorant is on my S**t list now, lol. 

 

Really, I agree with the question.

My game is now starting to crash mid way through. It is only valorant from what I can tell. I'll make a support ticket with them and see what happens
