It is crucial to recognize what Safe Mode cannot do. If the crash is caused by a corrupted game file (missing textures), a faulty RAM stick, or an overheating GPU, Safe Mode will not fix it. In the first case, the game will still crash because the asset is simply not there. In the latter, a hardware problem persists regardless of software settings. Safe Mode is a diagnostic tool, not a panacea. If the game runs perfectly in Safe Mode but crashes immediately in normal mode, the culprit is software (a bad config, an aggressive overclock, or an incompatible driver). If it crashes in both, the issue is hardware or file integrity.
