I have just made a new system and it worked perfectly fine, but after installing Valorant, the disk just ramped up to 100% constantly and it gave a BSOD (Critial Proccess Died) and then it deleted windows (It booted into the bios and there was not a bootable drive found). The ssd is an m.2 2tb kingston, I have one on my own pc and I've never had issues like this. I installed other stuff and everything went well until I got to valorant. That's when it just started dying. It has already deleted itself 2 times, I don't know what to do anymore.
 
Welcome to the forums, newcomer!

The ssd is an m.2 2tb kingston,
Kingston have a number of M.2 drive sunder it's portfolio, which one do you have? When posting a thread of troubleshooting nature, it's customary to include your full system's specs. Please list the specs to your build like so:
CPU:
CPU cooler:
Motherboard:
Ram:
SSD/HDD:
GPU:
PSU:
Chassis:
OS:
Monitor:
include the age of the PSU apart from it's make and model. BIOS version for your motherboard at this moment of time.

You state building a new system, did you migrate the OS drive from an older system? It's possible that the drive was on it's way out or was overheating.
 
Alright

GPU: RTX 2060 (I had an old one)
PSU: Seasonic B12 BC Series 850W (It's brand new)

It would seem that you have a bad disk. Do you have an enclosure and/or another system you can run a scan on it from?
It's strange since everything is brand new. Though, it did work to install the updates, drivers and I even installed infinity nikki and ran it without issues. Only when I installed valorant, it started breaking
 
Things come bad in box sometimes. Assuming that everything else is good and download from official site do you happen to have even a 2.5" SSD you could try on that new board?
I do not sadly, but it's still weird as I saw in task manager that riot is using even 900mbps on the disk, it works flawlessly until I install it.
