BSOD - Win8_driver_fault on Windows 10

So, i have been having a lot of BSODs since I bought my new Laptop. HP 15-ab034tx

I clean installed Windows 10 on it, and it reduced the frequency of BSODs. After that, installing an older version of Graphics Card Driver, reduced the BSODs caused, by it. (I know this sounds a bit different but I guess the newer drivers were not that stable).

After doing all that, I still get BSODs with different errors, like WHEA_UNCORRECTABLE_ERROR, SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION, PAGE_FAULT_IN_NON_PAGED_AREA, etc But on debugging them, they all have the same DEFAULT_BUCKET_ID : WIN8_DRIVER_FAULT, but the process differs.

Here is the debugged version of the latest crash

And here is the zip of all dumps I have Google Drive

Edit: The BSODs are solved. HP Support helped me out by changing some settings of the WiFi adapter.

The newest dump from today shows an L2 Cache execution error (ICACHEL2_IRD_ERR):

The 2nd last dump shows bad instruction pointer:

SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION (3b)
An exception happened while executing a system service routine.

FAILURE_BUCKET_ID:  IP_MISALIGNED

This looks like a CPU issue. Run a CPU stresstesting tool (Prime95) and look if you see errors. If you have errors and still warranty, send it to HP to replace the CPU.
