In computing and electronics, a hard error is an unrecoverable error, typically the result of faulty hardware. A soft error is a non-fatal error, typically occurring within a data stream, often as a result of a minor power fluctuation. The hardware is not damaged by soft errors -- only the data stream is affected -- thus resetting or rebooting the hardware will typically resolve the error.
