└─>Machine Check / overheating reporting
In linux kernel since version 2.6.12  
Machine Check support allows the processor to notify the
kernel if it detects a problem (e.g. overheating, data corruption).
The action the kernel takes depends on the severity of the problem,
ranging from warning messages to halting the machine.
