Could someone help solve my Windows 10 DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE BSOD's on wake

Question

Windows 10 64-bit, upgraded in-place from Windows 7. Intel Core i5-4690K (not overclocked), 16Gb RAM, and an Nvidia GeForce GTX 660 Ti (latest driver) on a Gigabyte Z97MX-Gaming 5 motherboard. Nearly every time I wake the computer from sleep, I get a DRIVER_POWER_STATE_FAILURE BSOD after a minute of blank screens.

The problem is being caused by driver ntoskrnl.exe, according to BlueScreenView, or by dxgkrnl.sys according to WinDbg - "A driver has failed to complete a power IRP within a specific time."

Here's the .dmp from Minidump: https://www.dropbox.com/s/v3pnwlamjnotkly/100115-6500-01.dmp?dl=0

Here's the MSINFO output: https://www.dropbox.com/s/1x2qi52d0kddqvp/msinfo32.nfo?dl=0

And here's the WinDbg results (from following this guide): https://www.dropbox.com/s/q4fx9ctxv3pj1os/windbg%20output.TXT?dl=0

Any help is greatly appreciated.

According to the dump, your NVIDIA graphic driver for your GPU (VEN_10DE&DEV_1183) causes the crash:

Report it to nVIDIA in their forums and as a workaround try to disable all power saving options you can in the Geforce driver.
