I would be very, very "surprised" *IF* this wasn't hardware
related.
Dave Jones wrote a nice little program to help decode this:
$ parsemce -b 3 -s f62000020002010a -e 5 -a 0000000032c93500
Status: (5) Machine Check in progress.
Restart IP valid.
parsebank(3): f62000020002010a @ 32c93500
External tag parity error
CPU state corrupt. Restart not possible
Address in addr register valid
Error enabled in control register

and:
$ parsemce -b 5 -s f20000300c000e0f -e 4 -a 0
Status: (4) Machine Check in progress.
Restart IP invalid.
parsebank(5): f20000300c000e0f @ 0

Dag's Repo has the new memtest86+ 2.01 RPM. I'd pull it and
let it run overnight. While memtest86+ is good, I've recently had
cases where is didn't find (obvious) memory errors.
I've also seen things like SATA disks drive cause MCEs.
This one looks like you're taking memory parity errors somewhere
in the path to the CPU. On you BIOS, check you Events log for
any "interesting" entries, too.
Hope this helps ...
