Buffer overflows can happen for a number of reasons: overheating, vibration, very high altitudes, even very high audio levels. If you are shooting in any of those situations, try recording to a memory stick instead. Disabling the drop sensor may also work, but it's not advisable to leave this off permanently as it does protect the hard drive from accidental damage.
