I have Ubuntu 16.10 (although the same happened on 16.04) on a dual boot with Windows 10. I noticed some time ago that my kern.log
file was getting pretty big (10GB or more) so I decided to check it. The same error seems to be repeating every second or less:

I have tried adding to the grub pci=nomsi
and pci=noaer
but it keeps popping up. I am using a ASUS Laptop with an Nvidia Geforce 920M. Maybe that's the reason?

This is an ASUS X541UV laptop. I had latest BIOS update (3.09) Just for the record. I had found this bug that seems related to this issue: bugs.launchpad.net/ubuntu/+source/linux/+bug/1521173
