Ovverun stack based buffer after playing games
So basically, after I exit a game and return to desktop, I get an system error saying that "The system has detected an overrun of a stack based buffer in this application. This overrun could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this application". Thing is, this never happened until I updated Windows and reinstalled my GeForce Driver, since my games were starting to have some performance issues. I have tested this on several games, and the message appeared in all of them. If anyone knows what's causing this, please respond. Thanks

Have you been overclocking lately, this could cause a bsod when you tamper with the memory speed, voltage, timing etc. Or it could be a faulty component if it has the default values and goes through a bsod.

Thanks for replying so quickly. To my knowledge, no, I have not been overclocking since I don't actually know how to.

Bellow error overlays Realtek Audio HD Manager, when exiting games.
******************************************************************
TextInputHost.exe
"The system detected an overrun of a stack-based buffer in this application. This overrun could potentially allow a malicious user to gain control of this application."
********************************************************************
Found several sites with referance about above error.
https://www.securityweek.com/realtek-sdk-vulnerability-exposes-routers-many-vendors-remote-attacks/

So far none offer solution.
Took screenshot, but not able to post it.
Any help would be appreciated.

Read online what might cause the problem, went thru CMD COMMANDS, FULL VIRUS/MALWARE SCAN,ALL COMES CLEAN.
Not sure if this is is correct forum or this problem in any way relates to STEAM. Reason asking for help because above ERROR only displays after exiting games.
No overclocking.
Thanks.

This thread was quite old before the recent post, so we're locking it to prevent confusion.
