Fedora 20 kernel crashes
I have installed Fedora 20 on a new Dell OptiPlex 9020 workstation. I use about the same software set that I used on an older Dell and with Fedora 19 that was very stable. With Fedora 20 I have had several kernel crashes. I only have pictures from the console after the crashes. The crashes are not similar. Dell's own diagnostics and Memtest86+ 4.20 did not found any issues from the memory.
Kernel versions that have crashed: 3.11.10-301.fc20.x86_64 (crash1 & crash2) 3.12.5-302.fc20.x86_64 (crash3)
I'm using bcache (naturally did not use bcache in Fedora19) and VirtualBox (Fedora as host).

Dmesg after boot can be found here.
If this is graphics related, then here's the relevant part from lspci:

Though I'm mainly using the system remotely (ssh + vncserver), so local display is just showing login screen.
Noticed also some new messages from dmesg, no kernel crash yet...

With later kernel (3.12.7-300.fc20.x86_64) the system has been stable for at least five days.
