I had first bought 7700x for my new AMD build, but it constantly caused BSOD. Lowering the voltage and disabling DOCP from bios decreased the crashes, but did not completely get rid of it, I was still getting crashes here and there. I ordered another 7700x from amazon, to find out whether the first 7700x was faulty or not, the problem kept persisting with the new 7700x as well.
I knew other components like the motherboard, RAM, or GPU were NOT faulty because I had replaced them too during troubleshooting, which left the CPU as the only culprit. Last week I decided to pull the trigger and bought 9700x. Fortunately, all my crashes went away. My new build now works flawlessly.
In Bios, DOCP is enabled, and all other settings are set to default, including voltage. It's been a day, and I haven't encountered any random crashes. I'm attributing my challenges to a bad memory controller on the 7700x. I recommend everyone get 9700x instead of 7700x to avoid random crashes.
