Windows 10: College Campus - Sudden Rash of BSOD

Hello,
Work on a college campus using Lenovo M-series desktops and over the past week we have suddenly started experiencing a rather large number of PCs (14 or so machines this week) on boot experiencing BSOD. We are not exactly sure what is going on and was hoping to get some tips on directions we should pursue.

Lenovo M-Series Windows 10 Pro version 1803

1. Majority of the issues occur when staff power their PCs on in the morning. A small few have occurred on rebooting their PC after using it for a while.
2. Some of the machines have been fixed by running Startup repair. Other machines are not fixed with this or using any of the other repair options (system restore point, uninstall last update, etc...)
3. Problems only seem to be occurring on the newest machines we have put into service (last year or so). We have not seen any of the older machines having this issue.
4. A few of the machines that have been fixed with Startup Repair have had the error occur again and fixed with another Startup repair.

I have attached some of the log files we have gathered but we are at our wits end. Any direction for troubleshooting would be greatly appreciated.

Here is the important part from the srttrail.txt file:

Root cause found:

Getting BSOD 0x124 error

Ignore what everone said here.

0x124 BSOD is usually related to VCCIO (VTT), run Prime95 version 26.6 with custom sizes of 512K to 640K with 50% of your memory for at least 8 hours.

If you get a 0x124 BSOD, increase VCCIO voltage by small steps, run Prime95 again until your stable.

If you pass Prime95 512K to 640K without a BSOD, then its Vcore too low. I'd suggest running IntelBurnTest with 80% of your memory to verify stability (8 to 12 hours).

Oh, and yeah, if this problem appeared all of the sudden, the reason is CPU degradation, you can prevent it by enabling C-States or adjust your overclock to use lower voltages.
