hi rupert, i would say you have an hardware problem. the machine check exception tells me that there is something wrong with your system memory. probably the memory module on bank 0 of cpu 0 is causing errors. i also ran in those problems a few month ago. i replaced the system memory an everything was fine from that moment. in my system log messages like "machine check events ..." occured. additional information about machine check events you can get if you are merging app-admin/mcelog and run "mcelog --k8" on opteron systems when mce's occur. i would suggest you to replace the memory module on bank 0.
