MacBook Air M1 keeps crashing

So recently, my MacBook keeps on crashing during the night. I let it run some compressions via Handbrake while being connected to the power supply and my TV and in the morning, whenever I take a look at it, I get the info it crashed during the night and rebooted. The crash log is attached.

Does anybody know what causes this problem? It seems so weird that this happens basically every night.


Thank you in advance!
