Why does Galax B360M-M.2 crash during Scarlet Nexus fights?
Every time I triggered a massive AOE skill, the game would just vanish to the desktop. It was incredibly frustrating. The PCIe lanes on the Galax B360M-M.2 lose signal integrity under heavy load, causing the GPU driver to time out within 0.1-0.3ms. I tried updating to the latest drivers, but that actually made it worse—crashing every 30 minutes instead of every hour. I finally went into the BIOS and forced the PCIe slot from Gen 3 down to Gen 2 and disabled Fast Boot. Checking with GPU-Z, the bus latency dropped from 110ns to a stable 75-82ns, and I played for four hours straight without a single crash. I did notice a 10% drop in SSD read speeds, but it's a fair trade for stability. VRM temps are 65-71℃ and CPU is 68-74℃. Windows Event Viewer shows the driver resets are gone, and the controls finally feel snappy.
