This error indicates a driver power failure in the system, specifically related to notoriskl.exe.

note: no logs in minidump. the kernel dump is stored as memory.dmp and is significantly larger.
I was hoping to get a kernel dump, but I reviewed the minidump file instead.
The main concern revolves around winring0x64.sys and its presence on your system.
You also have an ASUS AI driver active.
It’s possible these are used to delay packets during network games, or malware might exploit them to steal information and inject ads.
I’d recommend removing them unless you’re certain about their purpose.
winring8x64 is unprotected and frequently targeted by malware.
notes: observed from minidump
System has been running for 18 seconds
Suspected drivers:
- WinRing0x64.sys (dated July 26, 2008)
- Symantec Extended File Attributes driver (from C:\WINDOWS\system32\Drivers\SYMEVENT64x86.SYS, dated October 26, 2021)
- RvNetMP60.sys (from August 11, 2022, VPN software)
- mtkbtfilterx.sys (June 29, 2024)
- IOMap64.sys (December 2, 2024, suspected ASUS game network driver, possibly part of the AI suite)
- C:\WINDOWS\temp\cpuz158\cpuz158_x64.sys (February 20, 2024)
- C:\WINDOWS\temp\cpuz159\cpuz159_x64.sys (September 4, 2024)
(Observation: it’s unusual to have drivers installed in 2021, 2022, and 2024.)
The minidump shows the system running for 18 seconds.
Potential issues:
- WinRing0x64.sys may be present due to delayed packet handling in games
- ASUS AI driver could be involved in ad injection or information theft
- I would consider removing these unless you’re familiar with their functions.
winring8x64 is vulnerable and commonly targeted by malware.
I initially believed it was a kernel dump since registry settings were configured that way. Some files like WinRing0x64.sys, RvNetMP60.sys, and mtkbtfilterx.sys appeared to be from MasterPlus software for fans, while others were up to date. It seems possible it could originate from the Armoury Crate software from ASUS. Could AMDRyzenMasterDriver.sys be used to disable it?
It's odd that you don't notice RvNetMP60.sys in the driver list—it seems like a VPN file. I haven't seen anyone using it before. It appears to be from famatech vpn. https://www.radmin-vpn.com/ You can connect remotely to a computer behind a firewall. I suspect this is intentional and not just malware. It's unclear why it would hide from the autoruns64 list. I don't think it originates from armoury crate, as some people disable it in the BIOS because it reinstalls from various locations and causes issues. In Windows, you should uninstall it, then remove the installer from the scheduler so it doesn't reappear daily.
Typically, people install the Ryzen Master driver to bypass CPU-related bugs that aren't fixed in newer BIOS updates. Windows updates will later install a Microsoft CPU update DLL. If you've updated the BIOS, try uninstalling AMDRyzenMasterDriver.sys.
Uninstall the AMD Ryzen Master tool via Settings → Apps and Features.
Usually the Ryzen master driver wouldn't trigger a power state failure bugcheck. If I were making a wager, I'd say it's likely due to the sound effects driver from AVoluteSS3Vad.sys.
