Another user named Buujoom on the same subreddit stated that system logs showed him that the PC goes into force reboot mode the moment they quit VALORANT. Currently, there is no fix to this issue within VALORANT for the shutdown error, and the ideal way to go forward is to wait to play the game until a patch is released.
