Hi,
I am having issues while playing games on my Acer Laptop with NVIDIA 820m GPU. Whenever the game starts, after 5 or 10 seconds, I get a BSOD or the screen goes pixelated and I get lines across the screen. The recent BSOD I got was DRIVER_OVERRAN_STACK_BUFFER and was caused by ntoskrnl.exe (Heres the DMP File https://drive.google.com/file/d/0B7cP76POx7A8eGpVaExKSmlRcnM/view?usp=sharing ). Sometimes the laptop also shuts down without any error.

Whenever I run GPU Stress Test (Furmark), again screen goes pixelated and lines appear across the screen

Background:
I also recently upgraded my RAM (before the issues started). I thought it was RAM issued and I ran memtest ( 3 passes) but it detected no errors. I also reinstalled windows but the problem has not been solved.

Can anyone help me out in this situation?

Thanks.

Did you took out your previous RAM? Are both the RAM's same?

Thanks for the reply :) Yes Both RAMs are same. No I didn't take out the ram myself. I will be going to a technician for that. Meanwhile, I am looking for some software solution or some troubleshooting which could pinpoint the problem.
