MCE is a Machine Check Error, with is Intel-speak for a hardware error of some kind. See 'man mcelog'. It does look 'prima facie' like there may be a problem with your machine, but I'm not knowledgeable enough to tell you what it is. However see https://forums.fedoraforum.org/showthread.php?314118-MCE-hardware-errors-on-boot-on-new-machine wherein similar problems have been cured by updating the firmware. poc _______________________________________________ users mailing list -- users@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx To unsubscribe send an email to users-leave@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx
