Starcraft 2 Black Screen with Artifacts

Discussion in 'StarCraft 2 Tech Support' started by InsaneTaliban, Aug 13, 2010.

  1. Every time I play campaign or a skirmish the game starts to flicker with green artifacts and it locks up my computer and I have to force restart my computer. This usually happens 5 minutes after I'm in the game and I can't beat the mission Outbreak because of this. I have tried those two lines that you have to put in the variables txt.

    My specs are
    Windows 7 Ultimate
    Intel Core 2 Duo E7400 @ 2.8 Ghz
    4gb Ram
    Nvidia 9600 GT

    All my video drives are up to date
    P.S. if I have to post my dxdiag just tell me

    Thanks Again

    Please do post your dxdiag (always). The more info, the better.

    You aren't the first one to report a similar issue to this, but we were still trying to figure it out. Post as much system info as you can between
    tags.

    That actually sounds suspiciously like overheating. Then again, it may be just some weird bug...

    Another person was saying they were experiencing similar issues, but the temps were fine. 9600GT's don't exactly have the best cooling units though.. some are even passive.
