On a Dell Alienware 17, from ~ mid-2014 with an
Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-4900MQ CPU @ 2.80GHz
with a Fedora 26 on it:
[ ... ]
IIRC I have these errors since I installed Fedora 24 on this machine,
last autumn I think. And F24 worked - after a little extra help via
software settings - really good, and considerably better than F26 now
on
the same machine ...
Addendum:
Fedora 24 in the first few months on this machine had crashes every now
and then before the above mentioned changes:

I'm not sure: I think I had one crash where the logs on the machine were
complaining about CPUs freezing or locking or someth. like that. I don't
know what that was: were the CPUs locking the software, or vice-versa?
At this time I had, I think, no chance for a CPU replacement any more,
so I'm just crossing my fingers now, hoping it was some software related
bug ...
