Are you booting with the new intel u-code?
You mean installing the intel-ucode package and enabling it in the
bootloader as per instructions at
https://wiki.archlinux.org/index.php/microcode ?
No, I haven't gotten around to it yet as I'm, since August 2012, a
user of the grub-legacy (0.97) package on this laptop. I know
grub-legacy doesn't support the loading of the microcode. I'll
switch to using Syslinux instead when I find a proper memstick.
Are you fairly sure this is a Intel microcode issue?
To Rasmus,
I'm not completely certain; but it would make sense. I'd test it out.

Mark
Thank you for your help thus far. I'll examine this further tomorrow,
g'night.
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).
