BSODing constantly - Error: DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER

zebal · 19 Mar 2021

Sorry, I don't know what was causing reboot cycle.

Do you overclock or adjust properties of your GPU with MSI afterburner?
Do you overclock any other components?

If the answer if yes, please return to normal to make troubleshooting easier.

This is newer NVIDIA driver for your GPU:
NVIDIA DRIVERS GeForce Game Ready Driver WHQL
Install it and try to reproduce problem. (without driver verifier)

- - - Updated - - -

I see you already tried another driver, this one is DCH, please perform "clean installation" after selecting "custom installation", instead of "express installation"

Run:
Tuneup.bat - Click here to go to the BSOD batch repository to download and run this batch file.

Please upload a new V2.

Run Memtest86 version 9.0 (or newer version if available) for four passes.
Repeat the test so that eight passes are performed.

Yeah, I just noticed that. All of the files in the minidump folder were old. Any idea why my PC wouldn't boot after I turned on the verifier?

Please check to see if there is a new C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP and if there is, zip it and upload to a file sharing site like Onedrive or Google and post a link to it here.

Verifier can cause a reboot loop which is one of the reasons the user needs to understand how to get out of Verifier.

@Ztruker

Thank you, I thought that's self explanatory, what I really meant is that I don't know which driver would be causing reboot because of verifier.

Quite a homework assignment.

It may take me a couple of days to update the thread as I would have to run that memtest either overnight or while I am at work since it takes a while. I appreciate the quick responses.

I'm not seeing that file. I thought you had to have it configured in the Startup and Recovery to either automatic or complete memory dump to produce that file. My PC is currently configured to use the minidump. Should I change it to full?

As a double check, enter the following command [ Copy & Paste ] in a CMD Prompt and press Enter . . .

Code:


@echo off & if exist "C:\Windows\MEMORY.DMP" (echo  The file exists.) else (echo  The file does NOT exist.)&pause&exit

I hope this helps.

I couldn't get the results of the tune up to post correctly using the hashtag code. It would just post it in a long continuous single line. I think the screenshots will be much easier for you to read.

Attached is a new V2 but I don't see any new dmp files so it is probably the same as the original.

That sounds about right on the last crash I had with a BSOD message. I had a crash over the weekend while playing a game but it did not produce a BSOD message at all. I also notice there was no new minidump file created. I will post the mem86 test ASAP.
