I've seen a lot of reports but they were from P6 systems' owners.

This rate of errors is alarming. You get an error every six seconds on
the average.

The hangs might actually be a result of interrupt delivery problems (just
as other people report).

Well, 50 degrees is not that hot -- CPUs are actually speced for up to 70
degrees ambient temperature (that means the maximum temperature of the
case, not the heatsink!), but you need to ensure proper cooling.
After one and a half year since the error reporting is enabled I have yet
to see a hardware error to be reported by an APIC in my system.
