you would have to post the actual memory dump file to a cloud server like skydrive or google docs in order to tell what failed.
C:\Windows\Minidump\062814-32468-01.dmp
if it happens at idle it will most often be a bug in a device driver that is not doing its various sleep functions correctly. driver tells the hardware to go to a low power state but does not respond when it tells the hardware to wake up.
if you know the subsystem you can configure windows not to shut it down.
(use control panel power management) Windows 8.1 tries to shut down hardware pretty quickly in order to save battery life. older versions of windows did not do this (mostly because of bugs in the electronics of the hardware and device driver bugs)

windows 8.1 tells a lot of subsystem to go into a low power state when idle by default. Most of the time it is a failure of the subsystem to wake back up. You can make changes in control panel, under the power management settings. Or you can go control panel device manager and make setting changes for individual hardware devices but you need to know which device fails to wake. Common for some network adapters,usb 3.0 drivers, bluetooth devices, certain older hard drives or some newer soldid state drive that have bug in their firmware. Even, the graphics cards may have low power sleep settings. It is hard to tell which one fails without looking at the actual debug dump or turning them all off and then turning them on one at a time over several days until you hit the bug again.
