Only on two of them. Since when I get a BUG: Unable to handle paging request 
the system seems to get stuck and on 100% CPU after a while the CPU overheats 
I assumed those Machine Check Exceptions were due to the overheating caused by 
the 100% CPU usage caused by the errors. If it is due to that, the CPU 
throttles to prevent further overheating so it shouldn't affect anything.
