Ok, let's see what kind of errors does your machine report. It looks
like benign GART TLB walk errors but let's verify that first. Can you
apply the following patchlet and re-trigger the problem:

--
diff --git a/drivers/edac/edac_mce_amd.c b/drivers/edac/edac_mce_amd.c
index 713ed7d..fc4a68e 100644
--- a/drivers/edac/edac_mce_amd.c

 		if (regs->nbsh & K8_NBSH_ERR_CPU_VAL)

 	} else {

Thanks.
