'A driver has over-run a stack-based buffer. This over-run could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this machine.'

I don't know where to begin with solving this problem; can anyone tell me why this BOSD occurred and how do I stop it from happening again? Thanks!

Hi, post the Minidump files
Create a new folder on the desktop and call it dumpfiles [or something similar]

Look in c:\windows\minidump
Copy the last 4 minidump files to that folder.
Close the folder and right click on it and select Send To Compressed [zipped] Folder.
Windows will compress the file and then save the new zipped file in the same location.
Attach the zip folder by using the 'Upload a File' button.

Check and post the following.
