    I've been having a crash problem when I run SC2. Seemingly randomly, the game will pause for a moment as if lagging, then going to either a solid color screen, or a series of vertical lines and requires a hard reboot of the PC. I've gone through a bunch of fixes, and recently thought I had the problem solved by sweeping my drivers again, reinstalling them, manually install DirectX 11, uninstall SC2, instald something else, then reinstalled SC2. On the chance that I've got a corrupt sector in my HDD.
    After I did that, I was able to play for about a solid week with no problems. Today, i started messing around with Xsplit, and that may have over-taxed my video card or cpu, but I had Xsplit closed when I got the crash. The thing that was different about the crash today is that it seemed like my opponent lagged a bit, then things went OK for a while, then my screen froze, then went to a tan screen. Sadly, I didn't have all my monitoring software logging temp/performance/etc, so I don't know if there was overheating or something. I haven't been able to replicate this problem with any other game, but I also haven't made an attempt since things seemed to be working on 4/10 until today.

    My motherboard is the ASRock M6A0DE, which has a AMD II 435 processor (2.9gHz), the psu is a Seasonic 520w. Previously, the hottest my gpu has gotten playing SC2 has been about 62c, though has gotten as hot as 70 when playing Shogun 2.
