Per BIOS setup documentation:

On SERR, generate an NMI and log an error.
Note: [Enabled] must be selected for the Assert NMI
on PERR setup option to be visible.

and:

On PERR, generate an NMI and log an error.
Note: This option is only active if the Assert NMI on
SERR option is [Enabled] selected.

However, disabling them did not change anything.
