Created attachment 1432398 [details] Output of journalctl -b | grep Hardware +++ This bug was initially created as a clone of Bug #1469488 +++ Hardware Error I have added an attachment with the complete output of journalctl -b | grep Hardware. As has been reported since Fedora 25, systems with the Intel J4205 and (in my case) the Intel J3455 processor come up with a Hardware Error early in boot. Is this a real error, or something to be ignored? In any event, it would be good to go away. Notice that my microcode number is different from bug 1469488, but the PROCESSOR 0:506c9 is the same. I don't know if that matters.

My machine is quite new, btw. I built it yesterday. It's been up for 23 hours 24 minutes and I've been rsync'ing 742G of data to it. Plus I've watched about 1/2 hour of Lord of the Rings in Google Play Movies on Chrome. Which is to say, it certainly seems to be stable as far as I can tell. The error does not seem to be fatal... yet.
In the initial description, the lines containing "kiki" are from included from bug #1469488. Sorry for the confusion.
Please be so kind and tell us which mainboard you are using!
board_name: J3455-ITX board_vendor: ASRock bios_vendor: American Megatrends Inc. bios_version: P1.40
Someone reported it regarding the J4205 here: https://ask.fedoraproject.org/en/question/113119/mce-hardware-error-on-asrock-j4205-itx/
I upgraded my BIOS yesterday with the latest version that I could find @ ASRock's support site.
