Game keeps crashing

Game keeps crashing in league.

It happens once in a while, but today it just keeps randomly crashing when I’m playing.

Here are some of the game crash logs (I can send the full files if needed)

Looks like the reason is the same (ACCESS_VIOLATION reading from 0xFFFFFFFFFFFFFFFF (0xC0000005)), but what does it mean?

I’ve read on other threads it could be access right issues. There is only one user (which is admin). Do I have to run HotS with admin rights?

On a side note, when rejoining a game, chat is disabled (you can type, but message is not sent).

Edit: adding DxDiag dump as I’ve seen a Customer Service mod ask for it: https://pastebin.com/6Ls6edwc
