BSOD after CPU swap (self.pcmasterrace)

I've swapped a CPU going from 5600g to 5900x, unfortunately the system seems to bluescreen from time to time (usually takes hours in-game, otherwise stable)

For some reason it gets slightly worse when I enable XMP. Significantly worse if I undervold the CPU even a bit. Temps go no further than 80-85C under full load.

Would appreciate your thoughts on potential reasons.

Specs:

5900x
B550m DS3H (Swapping tomorrow to B550 Tomahawk)
3600Mhz 2x16Gb Kingston Fury (2400mhz if JEDEC)
6700xt Saphire Pulse
750W Zalman GigaMax

Will also be reinstalling Windows after motherboard swap.

First thing that comes to mind is to maybe try flashing/updating your bios? Obviously you have a version compatible with 5000 series CPU’s, but perhaps there is a newer version with bug fixes for this issue?

Hope to see an update if you figure it out. Good luck!

Could be, there are newer versions that I didn't bother upgrading to (namely the security patch after a big loophole was found)

If that's the case, mobo swap will be solving it regardless then. Will be updating the post if I find the root of it.
