A buffer in a computer is place where information is stored whilst being moved from one electronic device, to another. Or from on process to another. A buffer can only really get too 'full' if the information coming from one place overwrites the contents of the buffer, before the destination device or process reads it. That would occur if either device were to stop responding.
In a computer program a buffer over flow can occur when the memory in a position near the buffer get's too full and information get's written to the buffer by mistake, this is known a Buffer Overflow the source of many software crashes and security vulnerabilities.
What else can I help you with?
Is buffer overload a computer virus?
No, a buffer overload is not a computer virus. A buffer overload is an error that occurs when a program on your computer is writing data to a buffer and exceeds the buffer's capacity. This can cause problems and will usually cause the program which caused the buffer overload to crash.

What does buffer full mean on cash register?

How do you avoid data buffer overflow in transport layer?
There is a special bit signaling if the buffer is full. If the buffer is full the bit signals "BUSY" as result transmission stops until the bit changes to "READY" and transmission resumes.
What are some common solutions for addressing buffer problems in computer systems?
Some common solutions for addressing buffer problems in computer systems include increasing buffer size, optimizing buffer management algorithms, implementing error checking and handling mechanisms, and using data compression techniques.
If your computer is too full with stuff does that mean that when you add a game the graphics will be bad?
No.
