Hello! I've recently (and for the first time) built a gaming computer. For some reason, however, when playing recent and hardware-intensive games like Dead Island Riptide and Witcher 2, I get through about 5 minutes of gameplay before I start hearing a strange buzzing/stuttering noise through my earphones - accompanied by the screen freezing, making it hard to alt-tab or bring up the task manager. If I leave it in this state for too long, then the computer will bluescreen and restart, with some error along the lines of DRIVER_OVERRUN_STACK_BUFFER.
It's very strange, especially since I do not get this error on other games like Mount & Blade: Warband and even Red Orchestra 2 is fine (which is one that I think would cause problems, being quite hardware intensive itself).
Does anybody know what this error from the BSOD means, and perhaps how I may fix this error? One other thing it may be is that when swapping my GPU, i dropped it in quite a cringe-worthy fashion (if you can imagine) - so it might be this.
I'll post my specs here if this helps:
CPU: Intel i7 4770
Mobo: Gigabyte z87-D3HP
PSU: Corsair hx750
RAM: Corsair Vengeance 16gb (2x8)
GPU: GTX 660 Ti
For those of you out there thinking of posting "google is your friend!111one LELELE" - I have googled the problem! In fact I've searched for a significant amount of time for an answer, but the solution seems largely dependent on the individual's system and specifications, rather than having a standard hotfix for everybody getting this error. So that's why I'm posting yet another BSOD thread!
I've got a minidump of the DRIVER_OVERRUN_STACK_BUFFER incident, and shall attach it to this post in case somebody could be able to decipher its mysteries and thus discern a possible solution! :D
