How to fix stability issues on ASUS TUF B760M-PLUS WIFI D4?

Every time I entered a dense forest area, the game would just vanish and dump me back to the desktop without a word—it was incredibly frustrating. HWInfo revealed the nightmare: the VRM area on the ASUS TUF B760M was skyrocketing from 65℃ to 105℃ in ten minutes, triggering a hard thermal shutdown. I tried lowering the graphics settings, which slowed down the crashes but didn't stop them because the VRMs were still cooking. I finally went into the BIOS, slashed the fan response time from 2s to 0.5s, and cranked the front intake fans to 2200 RPM to force air over the power phases. After the change, VRM temps stayed under 85-91℃, and I managed five hours of gameplay without a single crash. I did notice some annoying case resonance after ramping up the fans, but adding some rubber dampeners fixed the noise. My CPU now sits at 78-84℃ with fans at 1800-2100 RPM. A 3DMark stress test confirmed everything is stable, and the input lag is finally gone.
