Before even starting with the troubleshooting steps, Disable any CPU or GPU overclocking. If you are unsure about this, you probably aren’t doing it. The next step would be to find out the faulty driver or hardware might be causing these error messages.

Backup your Windows Environment and create a system restore point. Ensure access to a second computer in order to reach support.
