But both errors are generally hardware-related. Of course, if updating the drivers fixes the problem, you would not have to replace the hardware. If that's the case then you'd have to replace some hardware components or disable them in the device manager until the error doesn't occur anymore. In general, if updating the drivers doesn't fix it and flashing the BIOS and updating the hardware doesn't fix it then it might be that you have some faulty hardware or hardware with bad drivers.


In previous Windows versions these errors could trigger a Blue Screen Of Death but Windows has been more stable.
