so i decided I would download Valorant and give it a go.
the file was about 13gigs, after installing i realized half of the file, about 6.2GB was actually an anti cheat program called Riot Vanguard.
as soon as the install was finished it says it needs a restart to get this Vanguard thhing working correctly.
so i press restart and boom, i'm hit with a BsoD. (blue screen)
the computer shut it self back down, and spent almost 15 minutes on the boot up screen(dell logo) before i decided to just turn it off, wait a minute and turn it back on.
I got it back on, and tried to uninstall both the game and the anti cheat program and was told my C drive was damaged and needed to be scanned and repaired.
after about 4 hours i think i've got everything back to normal.
sure enoug though i google "valorant BLUE SCREEN" and there are about a million other people that ahve gone through it.
anyway i deleted everything related to Valorant/Vanguard and hope my computer is okay.
WTF riot games?!
I ran a virus check on the entire computer. did the C: disk scan/repair.
is there anythign else i should/can do? i'm freaking out over here this is my brand new computer.
