Repeated BSOD Errors on Lenovo Legion Pro 7 After Windows Update

Experiencing a series of unpredictable Blue Screen of Death (BSOD) errors on a Lenovo Legion Pro 7 16IRX8H (Type 82WQ) running Windows 11. The issues started while working in Android Studio for app development and crashed twice with the error:

DRIVER_OVERRUN_STACK_BUFFER

Following an automatic Windows Update, the uninstallation of those updates triggered a massive wave of BSODs with various error codes, including:

  • KERNEL_MODE_HEAP_CORRUPTION
  • DRIVER_OVERRUN_STACK_BUFFER
  • SYSTEM_SERVICE_EXCEPTION
  • HYPERVISOR_ERROR
  • IRQL_NOT_LESS_OR_EQUAL

These crashes persist even when attempting to boot into the Windows Recovery/Repair environment, hindering normal troubleshooting.

Steps Taken So Far:

  1. Uninstalled the latest Windows updates that were installed on the day the BSODs started.
  2. Rebooted, only to encounter a continuous series of BSODs.
  3. Tried to reboot to the UEFI diagnostic tab but ended up in Windows Recovery and Automatic Repair, where BSODs still occurred.
  4. Accessed UEFI diagnostics to perform hardware checks, and all components (CPU, MEMORY, STORAGE, MOTHERBOARD) passed.
  5. Unplugged the USB connection to the Android device.
  6. Successfully rebooted without entering the Automatic Repair Tool and without experiencing BSODs.
  7. Collected crash dump files from C:\Windows\Minidump for analysis:

    I was not notified you had replied again, this forum is a bit strange please use the Comment section on my replies, so I get a notification when you reply.

    That minidump file also just indicated generic errors, nothing specific either this time.

    Ok it seems that it reproduced itself without any further actions, perhaps Windows Update, managed to grab the driver that the crash happened on "ntoskml.exe" also during the runtime it's always DRIVER_OVERRUN_STACK_BUFFER.

    i turned driver verifier in wait for any future issues to happen then I'll provide the dumps.

    I don't think i am able to reproduce this, however judging by CBS.log file i attached in comment of the initial post, says corruption on bthmodem.sys

    Your minidump files just indicate generic errors, nothing specific.

    To try to force Windows to show any faulting drivers, the best option would be to turn on Driver Verifier, let your PC crash 3 times, then you must turn off Driver Verifier, and finally, upload any newly created minidump files

    Before you run Driver Verifier, please create a new System Restore Point

    https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/answers/questions/4377096/(article)-driver-verifier-tracking-down-a-mis-beha?forum=windows-windows_10-update&referrer=answers

    .

    .


    Note, if you have any difficulty getting into Windows with Driver Verifier enabled:

    Start your PC, just as Windows attempts to load (spinning dots), press and hold Power Button for 5 - 10 seconds to perform a Hard Shut Down

    Do this twice

    On the third start Windows will boot into the Recovery Environment and from there you can access System Repair, Safe Mode, Command Prompt... etc.

    Go to Troubleshoot - Advanced Option - Startup Settings and click Restart

    Upon restart, press 4 to enter Safe Mode

    Open Command Prompt as Administrator and run these two commands, then restart your PC.

    verifier /reset

    verifier /bootmode resetonbootfail
