MacBook Pro crashed after twice logic board and once flash storage replacement

My MacBook Pro crashed after the 2nd time logic board and once flash storage replacements into a very short time period, 2 months.

The report I´ve got was

** MCA Error Report ***CPU Machine Check Architecture Error Dump (CPU: Intel(R) Core(TM) i5-7360U CPU @ 2.30GHz, CPUID: 0x806E9) CATERR detected! No MCA data found.

Please tell me if this is a hardware or a software problem. (I have no external sources connected to this machine).

If your Mac spontaneously restarts or displays "Your computer restarted because of a problem"

Machine check is a hardware issue—take it back.

You have a 90 warranty on all parts and services.

In or out of warranty you can get a free over the counter 'Apple Service Diagnostics' test /assessment

Make an appointment for a "hardware issue"—
