League of Legends keeps crashing
Crashes or freezes with no error code
The game drops to the desktop or freezes without any error message. Riot's general crash steps check the PC, drivers, Windows and the game's own files.
How to fix it
Check that your PC meets the minimum requirements, then restart it.
Update your graphics driver and install all Windows updates.
Do a clean boot to stop other programs from interfering.
Reset NVIDIA Control Panel or AMD Software to default settings.
Lower your video settings, and reinstall the game if crashes continue.
