I'm experiencing a persistent blue screen error on my PC indicating a "driver overran stack buffer". It usually crashes after about five minutes of usage. I've already reinstalled my GPU drivers using a clean DDU installation, but the issue persists. I also ran the Windows Memory Diagnostic tool, which reported no problems with my RAM. I'm at a loss for what to try next. Apologies if my English isn't perfect; it's not my first language.

Make sure to check those minidump files using a tool like BlueScreenView; it can reveal which driver is causing the crash. Most likely, it's not your GPU driver since reinstalling it didn't help. The dumps might show the real culprit behind the BSOD!
Actually, if you've checked the minidump files and they point to the ntoskrnl.exe driver, that might be a systemic issue rather than a single driver. It’s good you did all the initial checks, but you might want to explore updates for Windows or drivers related to your motherboard as well.
To properly diagnose your BSOD, you should collect the crash dump files. These logs can help pinpoint the exact cause of the issue. Check the C:WindowsMinidump directory for any dump files. If you find some, copy that folder to your desktop, zip it, and upload it to a file sharing site like catbox.moe or mediafire.com, as those work well. You'll want multiple dump files if possible! If you only have one, it's still worth checking. Also, follow this guide to configure your system for small memory dumps to provide more consistent files for analysis.
