    twice today, was playing Storm of the Imperial Sanctum, the screen went black but i cud see and move my cursor and hear the music. first time, ctlr alt del, and alt tab did nothing. second time, i cud ctrl alt del. i did so, brought up task manager, bringing me to my desktop, from where i reopened sc2, and it worked. i died tho -.-

    so wtf. everything normal, then this happens. oh, and im overclocking with msi afterburner to highest values. when this happens, its like msi was turned off.

    I think it may be overclocking prob but ive been using msi for a couple weeks now, so wtf

    ms says: max temp "70"
    Max i ever saw b4 was like 74

    Underclock it back to its original values.

    It's been proven time and time again SCII does not like overclocked components.
