(In reply to Kristóf Marussy from comment #1)
I managed to get a stable system by booting with the processor.max_cstate=0
intel_idle.max_cstate=0 idle=poll and SpeedStep enabled. However, if I set
idle=halt or idle=nomwait instead, the MCEs remain.

In Windows, the Performance monitor displays that the system utilizes
C-states that are claimed to be C1, C2 and C3; so it is quite odd that C1
halt in Linux triggers an MCE...
Same problem here with MSI GE62 2QE Apache Pro.
I tried both debian8.1 and Ubuntu15.04 on the real machine and received same
kernel panics. Updating kernels to 4.2 doesn't help.
I also tried those two systems in VMware workstation under Windows 10 and ended
up in BSODs saying "MACHINE_CHECK_EXCEPTIONS". 
I then tried to use debian in VMware at runlevel=3. It seems to be stable. I
don't know why. 

I'm going to try your way to get a stable system. Will reply if anything new
discovered.
