Maybe it wasn't being reported correctly in 11.3.  I think the two
indications are quite clear:  random lock ups + machine checks.
However, it is possible that the messages stem from a corrected error,
in which case they shouldn't be logged at all.
Maybe try installing mcelog, that might produce more useful messages.
