Hello Elmo,
Thank you for contacting National Instruments.
There are a number of causes that could lead to an overflow error. Please refer to the following knowledge bases concerning NI-CAN queues.

Some ways around the overflow error are to increase buffer size, decrease scan rate, or get a faster processor. Your buffer size should be 2 - 4 times bigger than your scan rate.
I hope this helps.
