Hey I bought the 9800X3D on launch day at microcenter and installed it same day, been using every day since and I've never had a problem. I see those reports about the chip dying with asrock boards, but honestly i never had problems so i was skeptical about updating my BIOS. But some one told me its probably good to go ahead and do it just in case. well, i did it and immediately after i started getting blue screens and random shut offs. its happened 4 times since i got the latest bios 2 days ago, so i reverted to the 2nd latest one just a minute ago.

I do wanna say that despite this i love ASRock, its my goto for motherboards, been a user since 2016, hell i still am using a Z370 in my backup pc going strong over 6 years! Love asrock.
 
New X870E BIOS
You forgot to mention the make and model of the motherboard. I'm assuming it's an ASRock per your initial, opening post. For the sake of relevance, please state the BIOS version you were on, as well as the BIOS version you'd flashed to, then the BIOS you'd downgraded to, to alleviate your issues.

You state the board being new in the thread title, what board were you working with prior? If you performed a motherboard swap, you're going to have to reinstall the OS.
