Why does Nioh 2 have read latency spikes and potential BSODs?

Texture loading in Nioh 2 was stuttering with frame times at 20-35ms per RTSS. I tried updating the graphics driver, but it caused a BSOD. I used GamePP Peripheral Driver Conflict Detection Tool to disable the conflicting service and switched the fan curve to S-curve. RTSS showed frame times dropping to 10-12ms. GPU usage stabilized at 65-72% and fans at 2200-2500 RPM. This verify step is essential for a stable system.
