inpoutx64 makes my game crash on phn16-72. tried deleting or reinstalling but did not work

Hyusen1122

I have a phn16-72 laptop, when playing valorant, vanguard reports an error unrelated to the inpoutx64.sys folder. When I play the game for 1 or 2 matches, the game crashes. I've looked at ways to fix it, such as deleting or reinstalling windows, but it doesn't work. That file still appears again. Can anyone help me fix it?

The inpoutx64 issue you’re facing can indeed cause problems, including system crashes and blue screens. Let’s explore this further:

1. What is inpoutx64?
   • inpoutx64 is an open-source 64-bit driver used for accessing “old-fashioned” ports like the parallel port and serial port directly. It’s commonly used for interfacing with legacy hardware1.
   • However, it’s essential to note that inpoutx64 is quite outdated, and its use is limited to specific scenarios.
2. Access Denied Error:
   • If you are encountering an “access denied” error related to inpoutx64. This error could indeed lead to system instability.
   • To address this, we need more information:
     • Could you provide a screenshot of the error message you see related to inpoutx64?
     • Additionally, please let me know what you were doing when you encountered this error.
3. Blue Screens (BSODs):
   • If you are also experienced blue screens. To investigate further:
     • Check if your PC is producing any minidump files associated with these crashes.
     • Here’s how:
       1. Open Windows File Explorer.
       2. Navigate to C:\Windows\Minidump.
       3. Copy any minidump files onto your Desktop.
       4. Zip those files.
       5. Upload the zip file to a cloud service (e.g., OneDrive, Dropbox) and share the link here.
     • I’ll analyze the minidump files to identify potential causes of the system crashes.

Note: that the NVidia GeForce Experience software has also appropriate settings for the Valorant™ game for the gpu of your Predator PHN16-72 laptop that could fix the inpoutx64 issue, so install this software and see if this helps. Good luck and hope this helps you out.
