Brian,

I am having similar issues and would like to send you the .dmp files that I have been able to pull. Where can I upload those to?

Answer 2

Hello, Nika Maxarashvili

Welcome to the Microsoft Community

Thanks for your feedback. I read the information you provided.

We understand your current dilemma and it is indeed very frustrating.

"DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER" is a BSOD (Blue Screen of Death) stop error caused by a device driver failure in Windows. This error occurs when a driver writes data outside of its defined memory address. However, a variety of other reasons such as file corruption, disk errors, and malware can also cause the same Blue Screen of Death to appear.

The quickest way to fix the "Driver Overran Stack Buffer" BSOD is to update the device driver that is causing the problem. Since Windows uses multiple drivers, the best way is to analyze the memory dump file using WinDbg.

Therefore, we would like to ask you for more information so that we can give more accurate advice.

You can get a small capacity dmp file by following the steps below, which will help you share this relevant DMP information:

Click "win+R" and enter "sysdm.cpl"

Enter System Properties and click the Advanced tab

Find Startup and Fault Repair and click Settings

In Write Debug Information, select Small Memory Storage

The directory below will become

"%SystemRoot%\Minidump"

You can remember this location. If you encounter a blue screen again, you can restart your computer and enter this location into the Explorer. You can see the .DMP file created in the folder. Provide this file to us through OneDrive and we will provide you with further suggestions after analysis.
