My machine crashed this morning. Before crashing, it seems to have logged

I've never seen this before, but according to /usr/src/linux/Documentation/edac.txt, the CE entries are memory Correctable Errors, while UE are Uncorrectable Errors.
Looks like you have ecc memory modules, and errors are being detected.

Try reseating the memory modules, and then running memtest. You'll probably have
to replace the bad ram, so you may want to run memtest with one module at a time,
to figure out which is bad.
