This is most likely a problem with the on/off and/or reset switch on your case. There is a way to take the switch completely out of the equation for testing purposes. If this isn't the problem, and it's not overheating, then it could be anything from RAM to MOBO at this point.

Vgk.sys would point to the game Valorant? Are you having a BSOD if so can you check reliability history, and open the bluescreen dump files with WinDbg as admin (may need Microsoft store install) and post here.

If you struggle with this let me know.

I reinstalled valorant and it was fine but when i play steam games like csgo or apex or epic games like fortnite it restarts. But not with valorant.

The description for Event ID 14 from source nvlddmkm cannot be found. Either the component that raises this event is not installed on your local computer or the installation is corrupted. You can install or repair the component on the local computer.

should i try and reinstall windows?
