Kernel errors

[ProPAAS DBA]

Hi All;

I'm running Fedora 25, KDE spin on a Lenovo Thinkpad X1 Carbon 4th gen.

I'm seeing errors like this on a pretty regular basis:

08:40:46 ... kernel:mce: [Hardware Error]: CPU 2: Machine Check: 0 Bank 
128: 0000000088282803 Message from syslogd@F25Host at Mar 31 08:40:46 ...

Any thoughts on what this might be? Do I need to start shopping for a 
new machine?

Thanks in advance...

Try: root@localhost:/root> /usr/sbin/mcelog > mcelog.out

Cat out mcelog.out and see if it affords any more detailed info.

The wikipedia explanation page.

https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Machine-check_exception

Some quotes from that page.

"A Machine Check Exception (MCE) is a type of computer hardware error
that occurs when a computer's central processing unit detects a
hardware problem."

"Normal causes for MCE errors include overheating and/or incorrect
hardware installation. Specific manually-induced causes include:

overclocking (which normally increases heat-output)
    poorly-fitted heatsink/computer fans (the same problem can happen
    with excessive dust in the CPU fan) 
    an overloaded internal or external power-supply (fixable by
    upgrading) "
