 From rasmus first post :
I'm experiencing machine check exceptions since every kernel after package
linux-3.11.5-1 (Oct 14 2013)

New intel microcode was only introduced with kernel 3.17 .....
It's unlikely to have to do with this issue.


Rasmus,
check the log you posted again (bold added by me).

install mcelog , run it as the log tells you and post the result.
