Both "overload" and "overloaded" are grammatically correct English words, but they serve entirely different parts of speech and grammatical roles. "Overload" functions primarily as a noun (e.g., "An information overload caused system failure") or as a base verb (e.g., "Do not overload the electrical circuit"). Conversely, "overloaded" is the past-tense verb and past-participle adjective used to describe something or someone that has already been subjected to an excess capacity (e.g., "The truck was overloaded with heavy cargo").
