Kernal panic- not syncing- fatal exception in interrupt

I receive this error (probably) 99% of the way into the loading sequence using a AMD 970 chipset based MB.
I am not using UEFI. This is running v5.3.8 in a bootable CD.

Interestingly, this boots ok in two older laptops (both AMD based). I haven't tried a USB stick version , I would prefer using a CD if possible.
