Driver Conflict Resolution
It's unbelievable that a survival game could give me the 'pleasure' of system crashes every time I loaded a new area. I initially tried replacing the RAM sticks, but the crash frequency didn't change at all, which felt like a waste of money. I used the GamePP Peripheral Driver Conflict Detector and found an old mouse driver hogging I/O resources, which I then disabled. Task Manager showed memory usage dropped from 15.8-16.0GB to 12.4-13.8GB, and HWiNFO64 monitored temps at 52-58℃.
