NMIPI Kernel Panic in macOS Catalina - possible hardware failure?

I have an x299 build running macOS Catalina that recently starting hard resetting when I open some projects in Adobe Premiere Pro. The panic is always the same - after a project fully loads all media, system CPU usage spikes to nearly 100% and after a few minutes, the computer reboots. The panic thread is always kernel_task and the panic is always:

NMIPI for unresponsive processor: TLB flush timeout, TLB state:0x0

Here's the top lines of the panic report:

Here's what iStat Menus records:

The red spike is system CPU usage in Premiere before a crash. The blue spike is user CPU usage during Blender Benchmark which runs just fine.

This problem began when I connected a new monitor to my graphics card, a Radeon VII. I've confirmed that RAM passes memtest86 and is good, and I swapped in my old CPU, to eliminate CPU as the source of the problem. The same problem happens on multiple Catalina boot drives which are all good. It's only in Premiere Pro and only with certain projects. I've already tried uninstalling/reinstalling Premiere and it doesn't help.

This machine has been rock sold for over a year and the problem began with a new monitor (now removed from the system). Does this seem like a GPU hardware failure?

What should I do now to figure out and fix this?

Many thanks for your help!
