How to fix BIOS stability for ASUS TUF B760M in Tomb Raider?

I was so hyped to finally play the new game, only for the loading screen to trigger a hard black-screen reboot; that excitement turned into pure rage instantly. The default BIOS on my ASUS TUF B760M was having major synchronization errors with the new game's instruction set, causing the memory controller to throw 2-5 checksum errors at 3200 MHz. I first tried manually downclocking the RAM to 2666 MHz, and while the crashes stopped, I lost about 15 FPS, which was a total dealbreaker for me. I eventually used the flash tool to update to the latest 2026 stable BIOS and re-applied the XMP 3.0 profile. In MemTest86, my memory latency dropped from 82ns to 74ns, and the stability jump was massive. I actually had a heart attack during the update when a power flicker interrupted the flash, and I had to use the physical jumper pins to force a recovery—it was a nerve-wracking process. Now, the VRM temps are stable at 52-58℃ and the CPU stays between 65-72℃. The system logs confirm the instruction set conflict is gone, and the core temperature is holding steady at 65-72℃.
