The minidump files indicate that the cause of the BSOD is "amdacpbus.sys".

Please reinstall all audio and motherboard drivers from the manufacturer's website and see if the problem persists.

DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE bug check 0x0000009F means a driver is in an inconsistent or invalid power state, commonly during sleep, hibernation, or resume.

For this specific HP Victus AMD/NVIDIA laptop scenario, the matching dump analysis points to amdacpbus.sys. The recommended fix is to download and install the latest AMD chipset and processor drivers from the computer manufacturer’s support site.

Additional supported troubleshooting steps for 0x9F are:

Check Device Manager for any device with an exclamation mark (!).
- Open Device Manager.
- Review device status and the Events tab in the driver properties for the faulting device.
- Update the related driver if a problem is shown.
Check Event Viewer for related system errors.
- Open Event Viewer.
- Review the System log.
- Look for critical errors in the same time window as the blue screen.
If the issue happens around sleep or wake, temporarily disable power saving features.
- Open Control Panel > Power Options.
- Temporarily disable sleep/hibernate-related power saving settings to see whether the crash stops.
If hardware or firmware changed recently, test that path.
- Remove or replace recently added hardware if applicable.
- Check for an updated ACPI/BIOS or other firmware from the manufacturer.
- Run the hardware diagnostics supplied by the system manufacturer.

If the crash started after sleep, standby, or hibernation behavior changed, that aligns with the documented 0x9F pattern where a device blocks a power IRP or a power transition times out.
