How to repair Zotac driver runtimes for Elden Ring?

I tried the basic route first with disk health tools; while the SSD was chilling at 49-54℃, it did nothing for the driver signature failure. I was basically stuck. Then I ran a memory stability test and found timing conflicts in the dual-channel setup, proving this wasn't just a missing file but a deep communication glitch. I went into Device Manager to force-update the driver signatures and used a registry cleaner to wipe out old leftovers. Under PassMark stress tests, the system responsiveness bounced back immediately. The workflow was: Driver Update → Signature Verification → Registry Cleanup → Stress Test. The physical sensation is that the GPU power delivery is no longer fluctuating under high-frequency instructions, loading times are way shorter, and those annoying DLL pop-ups are gone. Checking the whole environment is way faster than just hunting for one file.
