I'm trying to figure out how to load CPU drivers into Windows without relying on Device Manager or DISM. My computer runs really slowly if I don't install these drivers, and I want to avoid blue screens. Does anyone have any advice on how to do this properly?

It sounds like you might be dealing with a hardware issue rather than just driver problems. Have you considered that something might be wrong with your setup?
In Windows, CPU 'drivers' aren’t really separate entities; they come bundled with the OS. You might want to check what the blue screen error says to get a better idea of the issue.
The blue screen error I keep getting is IQRL_LESS_OR_NOT_EQUAL. Without proper drivers, my CPU shows as 'unspecified' in the Task Manager, and my system is sluggish. After I manually install some drivers like "snapdragonservice.inf", it briefly helps, but the bluescreen happens again shortly after.
You might need to install the chipset drivers for your motherboard. The chipset often manages communication with the CPU, so it’s vital for performance.
I thought the chipset was integrated into my CPU, but I’ll look into that.
Make sure you’re collecting dump files to analyze the BSODs better. If you can access Windows or Safe Mode, check for minidump files in C:WindowsMinidump. You can zip them and upload them to a sharing site for better diagnosis, as multiple files give better insight into what’s going on.
It was running fine until a Windows update messed with the stock image. Before that, the necessary devices like "Qualcomm TECHNOLOGY Low Level I/O Device" were installed.
