F21 - Missing LVM swap partition or Hardware Error?

Hey list!

So, I am experiencing a bug under Fedora 21 (I think that I also had it
under Fedora 20).

A bit of back story: The HDD which is used in this PC was in an older
one before. On the older PC I had Fedora 17 installed with LVM as my
file system. I had to reinstall my OS after a failed upgrade to Fedora
19. I think that I did not swipe the drive completely and just installed
Fedora 20 over the left pieces of what was once my operating system.
Now the used file system is ext4.
A couple of month later I bought this new PC where I used the old HDD,
because why not.
When I left my terminal open for a while I could see messages popping
up, telling me that there was something wrong with my CPU cache.
After some searching I found out that I didn't find out anything.
My computer didn't crash when this bug showed up so it didn't bother me.

I tried to upgrade to Fedora 21 a few weeks ago.
I tried booting into "System Upgrade" but it would stop after some time
telling me that there is a lvm swap partition missing or something.
I managed to finish the upgrade without any further problems.


And now SELinux (under F20 there where no warnings by SELinux) is
sometimes throwing a warning that says:

- 
- 

reason: mce: [Hardware Error]: Machine check events logged


cmdline:

dmesg(I post just the part where it says things about errors):

The error reproduces itself and seems to appear at random.

If you need any additional information just tell me.

Now it does look more and more like a hardware error, but I am highly
confused about the missing lvm_swap partition that it is trying to find.

Apart from that Fedora works just fine. (Well, GTK+ seems to cause
some trouble, but that problem is for another mail.^^)


Thank you for your help.

Sorry

that I can't help you with this particular problem. (I'm using
XFCE/dwm)
But maybe you could use the gnome-fallback mode.

Or maybe you want to try another desktop environment like Mate or
Cinnamon.
They look quite like Windows and I think your father-in-law can work
with them without any big help from you.
XFCE could also be a choice. Adding shortcuts to the desktop is quite
easy.
