Default Windows 10 BSOD indicates a hardware problem - but what hardware is the problem?

o In general, apps don't cause "Stop Errors" (hardware & drivers do).

To be clear, I get that BSOD-causality information from the literatu
o https://www.howtogeek.com/163452/everything-you-need-to-know-about-the-blue-screen-of-death/
"Blue screens are generally caused by problems with your computer's
hardware or issues with its hardware driver software. Sometimes, they
can be caused by issues with low-level software running in the Windows
kernel. Regular apps usually won't be able to cause blue screens.
If an app crashes, it will do so without taking the operating system
out with it."

While that one doesn't fault apps, this one below also implicates apps:

o https://www.lmeservices.com/fix-the-dreaded-bsod/
"The BSOD can be caused by Hardware - A faulty memory module,
bad sectors on your hard drive or possibly a toasty graphics card
The BSOD can be caused by Software ¡V A corrupted operating system,
faulty hardware drivers or some kind of malicious app"

I have tested the drivers, albeit Verifier makes the machine verrry slow!

For example, from my syslogs...
o Win+R verifier {control+shift+enter}

Configure that Windows Driver Verifier Manager
o Create standard settings Next
o Automatically select all drivers installed on this computer Finish
o Win+R shutdown.exe /r /f /t 5 /c "Reboot in 5 seconds!"
