I've been dealing with frequent Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) issues on my Lenovo Legion laptop. It started with a hypervisor error BSOD and loud fan noises. I took it to a tech shop for cleaning, where they ran stress tests but couldn't replicate the issue. Once I got home, I managed to play some games, but the BSODs came back. Now I'm facing several different error messages: 'driver overran stack buffer', 'kmode exception not handled', 'irql not less or equal', 'page fault in non paged area', and the original 'hypervisor error'. I've updated the drivers in safe mode and even ran the Windows memory diagnostic tool, following Microsoft's troubleshooting steps, but the BSODs continue. They've gone from a couple of times a day to every 10 minutes after I turn on the laptop. I'm really at a loss here!

Just a thought, but you mentioned the fan is still making weird noises after cleaning. This could indicate hardware issues, and it might be worth looking over the cooling system or even the RAM for problems. Overheating or failing RAM can definitely lead to BSODs.
First off, you should try gathering the dump files from your laptop; they contain crash logs that can help diagnose what's going wrong. If you can boot into Windows normally or via Safe Mode, check the C:WindowsMinidump folder for any files. If you find them, zip them up and upload to a site like mediafire or catbox.moe since Reddit tends to block uploads from certain hosts. Having multiple dump files helps in understanding the crashes better.
Did you check if the BSODs happen while in Safe Mode? It could help narrow down the problem. If it doesn't crash in Safe Mode, then it’s likely a driver or software issue. But if it still crashes, then the problem may be with hardware.
