If your app is to be the only one running on the PC, you could Google "kiosk mode" for your particular version of Windows.

I don't know if it's possible to suppress OS error messages, but kiosk mode would probably give you the best chance to do so. The best thing would be to make it so the error messages don't happen - make sure you have a solid Windows installation on reliable hardware, with a reliable network (if present), and reliable electrical power (UPS etc.).
