Driver Overran Stack Buffer but with an application

Question

So I was doing work on an animation app called Toon Boom Harmony 22, which I already used with no problems before for the last few months. Until about 2 weeks ago I started getting bluescreens telling about Driver Overran Stack Buffer every time I runs the app for over about half an hour. I had no idea why is this happening or if the issue was tied to the app or not. I really need help and fast because my work deadline is in like 4 days and if this problem goes on, my work won't be finished on time ;-;

I also have the minidump files link here : Minidumps.zip

(if the link doesnt work, then reply to me please)

Answer 1

Thank you for that information, no need to run that test again for now.

Since no RAM errors are found, to try to force Windows 11 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

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

Answer 2

Hi, I am Dave, I will help you with this.

Your minidump files just indicate generic RAM corruption errors and that app is also not listed in your minidump files.

The best option is to download the widely available free utility MemTest86, then run a full 4 pass scan with that to test your RAM for physical errors

Answer 3

I decided to use the Windows Memory Diagnostic app instead because I dont have any spare USB drives for the MemTest86 to run on currently. After run a test, the results said that there were no errors. Do I need to perform the test 3 more times or do I just need to use the MemTest86 instead?

Answer 4

Thank you so much for the help but I have decided to try and brute force through my work(saving constantly and timing the crash). When I had some free time, I'll bring my laptop to a workshop to get it fixed. I'll reply again in a few weeks if the problem is solved.

Again, thank you very much for the help.
