I lack substantial log files for this situation, so I have to describe it in the best way possible.

Updated BIOS on motherboard after confirming the BIOS update to the newest version?
RTX 4070, current drivers
Previous GPU drivers handled with DDU, then reinstalled with latest from Nvidia site?

I haven't cleared the CMOS yet, and these crashes occurred before the BIOS update. Should I clear my CMOS after a BIOS update? I can handle that easily.
I was using an RTX 3060ti and wiped the drivers with DDU when I installed the 4070, then downloaded new drivers through GeForce Experience.
EDIT: What I've done so far:
- Switched the boot drive Sata cable to another
- DDU'd my GPU drivers and reinstalled via GeForce Experience custom install
- Discovered I had manually set my RAM to 3200mhz instead of using DOCP as recommended, and allowed that to handle the overclocking; it's now on DOCP
- Reset CMOS using jumper pins and reapplied DOCP plus Fan curves
Currently the computer is running smoothly, so I'll just need to perform some stress tests to confirm.
