I'd like to add this one:

Uhhuh. NMI received for unknown reason 31 on CPU 3.
Dazed and confused, but trying to continue

I get this one like once a week and it always makes me laugh. One day I'll investigate

I mean reason 31 could be anything. CPU 3 could be feeling a little tired, be pranking you, or just not be the brightest of the CPUs.

BIOS/UEFI likely tried to fuck up the CPU, or hardware fault. NMI => Non Maskable Interrupt.
