wow, yeah that looks exactly like what my error message looked like. i have a ryzen 7 5800x. but the weird thing is this happned after a blue screen on windows, grub then tired to boot into linux since thats the first option
You may also want to check if your bios is up-to-date.
My 5900x had some spontaneous crashes and reboots when I just got it, a bios update eventually resolved it. This was around the time zen3 was just out, and there were still quite a few bugs in AMD’s AGESA library, which is included in the motherboard’s bios.
Many motherboards still ship with an ancient bios, or just have been sitting on a shelf somewher for a very long time with an old bios. So if you have never touched your bios, check that first.
I have a Ryzen 3700x that had similar problems. In my case disabling Precision Boost Overdrive and regular Precision Boost eliminated the crashes. PB being just the regular boosting behavior of the CPU. With it turned off the CPU basically only adjusts its frequency between the idle frequency of like 800 MHz to the base clock (3.6 GHz or whatever).
I think basically what happened was the BIOS was running the CPU too hot and eventually it just couldn’t stably boost to the higher frequencies which would cause problems. It’s an easy thing to try and see if it works for you. In my case I was able to salvage the CPU by putting it into a server whose workload doesn’t benefit from moment to moment super high CPU clock speeds.

i updated mine in september or so when switching from a 3600 to 5800x, i’ll see though
Yeah I’d say that sounds recent enough, but it’s still possible that there’s some obscure bios bug you’re hitting.

that would suck to disable since i run some pretty high cpu intensive stuff but i’ll try get around to it soon
It sounds like a hardware issue then. Try running a ram test.

If it is a RAM issue I would recommend reinstalling everything
