Bug check description: This bug check indicates that the driver is in an inconsistent or invalid power state.
This appears to be a typical software driver bug and is not likely to be caused by a hardware problem.
The crash took place in the Windows kernel. Possibly this problem is caused by another driver that cannot be identified at this time.

Solution
I actually asked for multiple dumps, but let's see if 1 is enough.

As it looks like the SK Hynix RAM module is added, please remove it. Mixed RAM models is never a good idea to run at the same time.

Update the nvidia display drivers from ASUS.
