I’m having this log error every time my computer boots. I’ve looked for this particular message all over the internet but I found none like mine or even solved. Could someone help me resolve this bug? Bellow is the backtrace log file from the oops directory created by the error. It is the same message every time this crash occurs.
The kernel log indicates that hardware errors were detected.
System log may have more information.
The last 20 mcelog lines of system log are:

I don’t know how to proceed since I’m new to Fedora and Linux OS, so if you guys need any other file/information please let me know. Thanks in advance.
Have you tried updating the firmware to the latest version followed by loading BIOS defaults, rebooting, setting your BIOS preferences, rebooting and then check if the error still is there?
Hello @RickBadKan,
Can you tell me a bit about your PC? I think it is a Dell, is it an AMD powered one? FWIW I have a similar error on my AMD powered GigaByte MoBo and it is of no consequence for me since my processor isn’t supported by MCE. Do a man mcelog to see some of the gory details about the log command and what MCE’s are.
Thank you all for the replies! I’m a little short on time so I’ll take a look at every suggestion.
Thank you Francisco, I’ll have a look at this post to see if the issue is similar! (sorry, as a new user I cannot mention more than 2 users on a post )
@patrickl No, I didn’t. Since I’m dual booting Fedora 30 with Windows, I actually don’t know if it will mess up in some way with it. I’m new on this Linux world, so I’ll have to do some research to see how to update my firmware and change de BIOS settings without collateral damage.
@jakfrost Yes, it’s a Dell but with a Intel Core i5-4200U CPU @ 1.60GHz and a AMD Graphics Card Radeon HD 8670M. I read the mcelog manual but I got confused; my Dell is a x64 bits, not a x86. So it doesn’t make much sense, since the manual says that is for x86 CPUs report errors detected by the CPU. Also - and I don’t know if it’s related - but my boot time is around 2 minutes from splash screen to the login one. Bellow is the systemd-analyze blame commands for more details.
x86 is the processor family (like ARM, PowerPC, etc…) and specifically Intel or Intel like (AMD, others). The 64 or 32 represent 64 or 32 bit processor data width. So if it states x86_64 or x86_32 the difference is only the data bit width.
So back to what I was saying earlier about the MCE Log, it is for processor errors reporting, and I am uncertain how much of it’s metric’s are actually used by Fedora. In any case, I have not run into it causing me issues, although my processor has due to AMD not totally following the standards WRT mapping IO. That shouldn’t be a problem with an Intel CPU since they were on the standards board when they were written (I say that with my tongue firmly planted in cheek). Definitely flash your BIOS up to the latest for the MoBo, since that often clears up these types of issues. Also, @FranciscoD noted above that there was a similar question from another user, that does seem related and could indicate your issue is in need of being brought to the mcelog developers attention by filing a bug → https://bugz.fedoraproject.org/meclog.
Sorry I can’t be of more help on this, I don’t have an Intel powered Dell to try it out on.
Thank you guys for all the tips. I decided that since this bug report isn’t actually affecting the usage of the OS, I’ll just report it and leave it behind. If anything happens regarding the system itself, like malfunctioning, I’ll return here to try solving it.
hi all I have the same problem mce error with a dell after installing fedora30 I even try to update the bios to version 1.2.7 but the error and always please someone would
he a solution
