Unity Crash

[Big H_1995]

So i was playing Valheim the other night with a friend and the game crashed. Once trying to boot up the game I get the error:
"Valheim - Unity 2020.3.45f1_660cd1701bd5"
This crash has not only caused me to not be able to open Valheim, but any steam game in general. I have contacted a IT team to look at it and even they can not solve the issue. The game has basically made my gaming laptop not be able to play games. I am really lost on ideas for fixing the issue. Has anybody ran into this before?

Solutions I have tried:
Uninstalling Valheim/Steam
Redownloading Windows 11
Downgrading to Windows 10
Verifying game files through steam
Updating drivers
changing PhysX settings
literally anything I could find on youtube

Please share your Valheim and BSOD logs via pastebin.com for clarity.

Also, what do you mean you can't play any Steam games? Further, what are the specs of your laptop?

I have a feeling the game crash triggered a fault in your hardware. However, I won't know until you share your log file, and if you could provide the BSOD error code or log too.

I am not super tech savvy so I am not 100% sure how to share the other information. I will see if I can figure it out.

Forgot to answer this. All of my steam games crash when launching too. Basically can only get to logo then the application just stops responding. I have tried to wait it out before but 4 hours of waiting and it never responded so I gave up.

In an every game scenario it's likely to be a hardware issue.
Faulty component or overheat.

Either follow these instructions after your system crashed and stick the BSOD info into a pastebin.com: https://www.auslogics.com/en/articles/find-out-the-cause-of-event-manager-bsod/#follow-these-steps

or when your laptop does the Blue Screen of Death (BSOD), quickly press the pause key on your laptop and record the Error Code.

However, I'm wondering if your laptop warranty still holds? Furthermore, do you have something like MSI Afterburner or HWInfo54 to monitor your GPU/CPU temperature?

Your log files will be located in C:\Users\me\AppData\LocalLow\IronGate\Valheim. More specifically, type %appdata% from the task bar. It might take you to the roaming subfolder. Just go back one folder and enter locallow. From the IronGate/Valheim subfolder and crashes subfolder if that is still a thing, then locate the player.log, crash.dmp, and/or player-prev.log files. Open those up with notepad or notepad++, copy and paste it into pastebin.com .

However, like Hiryukaen mentioned, this sounds like faulty hardware triggered by Valheim.
