Hello there,

These crashes are related to memory corruption and are probably caused by a driver. You can follow the below articles to find the driver and memory leak which is causing you this BSOD.

Driver verifier is a utility built into the OS that will often find the driver/drivers that are the underlying cause of BSOD/Crashes.

Driver Verifier-- tracking down a mis-behaving driver.

Memtest is easy to use and is an accurate test of your computer memory. It can tell you if your memory is bad, a motherboard slot is bad, etc.

Memory problems.

Once you find the faulty drivers you can then update or reinstall the specific driver to rectify this issue.

Hope this resolves your Query !!
