Far Cry 7 keeps crashing with memory overflow on my ASUS B760M during startup. How to fix this?

The onboard audio driver on this board is basically a ticking time bomb; it crashed the game the second I hit the main menu. System logs showed an illegal access at memory address 0x00D1, with the audio process hogging a ridiculous 700-1100MB. I tried a clean driver reinstall, but the crash happened 2 minutes earlier, which was just laughable. I took a scorched-earth approach and used Device Manager to kill every non-essential audio enhancement component, which brought the usage down to 180-250MB. Even that wasn't enough until I manually scrubbed the leftover registry keys. Only then did the game actually load the main menu. The chipset temp stayed around 54℃ - 59℃, though the system still felt strained. After exporting the crash dump and comparing it to the official database, it was definitely a driver-level instruction conflict. Chipset temps remained at 54℃ - 59℃ throughout.
