Tamolino These errors describe what happened that caused Windows to initiate an emergency shutdown (the BSOD), but like many BlueScreen codes, these don't explain why the issue showed up in the first place. For that, you'd need to look at the crash dumps. They're here:
C:\Windows\Minidump
You will probably also see a MEMORY.dmp file in this Windows folder (not in Minidump), which is a much larger file with extra info that's not usually necessary, but it can be examined too. If you'd like to do it yourself, you can open and look at the files with WinDbg, a tool from Microsoft:
https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/windows-hardware/drivers/debugger/
Run the !analyze command to get some information to start with, and feel free to ask questions. What you're looking for is a particular driver implicated in the crash, or another explanation that gives you somewhere to start.
If you'd like me to look at your crash dumps, upload the last three or so to a third-party filesharing site and link them here. You'll need to copy the files where they are and paste them onto your desktop, as they're in a protected folder. Please zip them together before uploading.
Checking your RAM is a good idea too, although I'd start on the software side (as above) because it's a lot easier to remove and replace a bad driver than a bad memory module. I don't think you're at the point where you need to consider reinstalling Windows either, and of course that wouldn't help if the problem were in fact on the hardware side.
