I have been having issues recently when trying to play games which require anti cheats like Vanguard and now battleye where after playing the game for a couple minutes it closes my pc and gives me the 'your device ran into a problem message'

I've tried reinstalling league of legends (which uses vanguard) and I have just installed gta 5 (which uses battleye) today and now have had the same issue

I don't use cheats when playing games and never had so i'm not sure what could be causing this

Can I get some support please on what to do to fix this?

    Hello,

    Please check if your PC is creating any minidump files. I will look at them to find out what might be causing the crashes.

    1. Open Windows File Explorer.
    2. Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump.
    3. Copy any minidump files onto your Desktop, then zip them up.
    4. Upload the zip file to the Cloud (OneDrive, Dropbox, etc.), then choose to share it and get a share link.
    5. Then post the link here to the zip file so we can take a look for you.
