Deleted Meta Quest link due to coinciding event viewer alerts with the crash; uncertain if it triggered the issue, as BSODs occur intermittently. Likely another crash occurred recently.
Crash occurrences appear linked to background applications such as qbitorrent or Firefox when the system is idle.
In Event Viewer, I see:
Event 12 Wininit – LSASS.exe launched as a protected process with level 4.
Before the incident
Experienced another crash today while using the machine; it might be due to background processes. The minidump for this event is available here:

Observation: BSODs tend to appear when qBittorrent or Firefox are running in the background.
I don't have access to your current system settings. Please check your Windows settings or ask your device for the power configuration.
you have two programs that are messing each other up.

I would uninstall the audio driver, update the corsair icue software. update any firmware for the audio device and then reinstall the audio device
i think this is a known bug. I will see if I can find the official fix instructions.
edit update the icue software and see if you still get a bugcheck.
(looks like heap corruption due to both software packages using the same resource)
note: after the update, go into windows device manager and find the menu item to show hidden devices, check it and delete any usb device software that is greyed out.
you will also want to delete your pagefile.sys and reboot to dump corruptions that have been saved to virtual memory (pagefile.sys)
or you can google how to force windows to delete the pagefile on system restart and make the registry changes and reboot.
note: be sure to update any firmware for your audio device and your corsair device.
I just tried to check the dumps again but it returned an error and I checked another dump. All of your dumps show the 0x80004005 error when trying to extract them. (Unspecified Error) Please note that I couldn't unzip the file with explorer or the Microsoft Store Winzip app. It worked on an old zip file from another user. I think there might be an issue with your zip file or the version you're using.
a single dump indicates the hypervisor crashed because of the amdppm.sys driver, with version 10.0.26100.3624 which is an insider build.
edit: it's now on release preview (KB5053656); remove this update.
another dump shows kaspersky antivirus (klif.sys) again.
another time kaspersky appears as avp.exe.
one dump points to an UPN device that caused a DPC watchdog violation.
one crash was linked to GCC (GNU C Compiler).
anyway, let's begin uninstalling kaspersky.
