Fixing Seagate FireCuda 530 driver errors in Banishers?

Whenever a heavy ghost-themed scene loads, the Seagate FireCuda 530 controller timing parameters clash, triggering a low-level driver validation failure. This resulted in nasty texture tearing and audio pops. I spent a while comparing a simple driver reinstall versus a deep runtime library scan. The winning path was: CrystalDiskInfo to check NVMe health (found some bad block fluctuations), followed by multiple passes of MemTest86 under stress. This brought my input response latency down from a sluggish 19 - 25 ms to a crisp 10 - 13 ms. Loading is smooth again, but the controller still lingers around 53 - 59 ℃, and I can hear a slight liquid gurgle from the heat pipe in quiet moments, with fans ramping between 1080 - 1350 RPM. I used a diagnostic flag to confirm the driver link is fully restored. It took forever to scan the first time, but the error logs are now zeroed out. The validation curve was jumping all over the place at first, but a second calibration smoothed it out. It really cleared up the instruction bottleneck.
