mce: [Hardware Error] after rebooting to Linux 6.13.6

Hi, just updated to Linux 6.13.6 (Core linux package) and after rebooting, the system froze when reaching the graphical interface. I had to hard-reset it. After that, the subsequent boot worked fine.

The following errors were logged from the failed boot:

Does anyone know where it could come from?

This issue is really hard to debug if you cannot reproduce this ... Does it come up again after you downgrade to .5, reboot, reboot and then upgrade to .6 and then reboot again?

Re: mce: [Hardware Error] after rebooting to Linux 6.13.6

Yep I know it is. Possibly it's unrelated to the kernel 6.13.6. I had this kind of mce error before, but it was at least one year ago, and when it happened (which was not systematic of course), it was always upon resume, not upon booting, and it came with a "green screen" (AMD GPU here). After a given kernel update (don't remember which exactly now), it never happened again.

So, first time it happens again in a long time now, and maybe this kernel update is unrelated. It's very hard to tell. I can't reproduce it.

There's one thing that I do with this machine, that I'm wondering if it could cause this eventually: I almost never shut it down. I use standby/resume all the time, and reboot it when updating the kernel, but without shutting the machine down ever (or extremely rarely). I wonder if by doing so, the BIOS may end up exhibiting some bug causing this. But again, it hadn't happened in months, so, I don't know.
