    So, for about a month maybe even two, I have had Starcraft 2 since it's first release, my computer has been crashing whenever I play Starcraft 2, it doesn't occur right when I get onto Starcraft 2, but it happens at random times, I could be in a middle of a game, I could have just started a game, or I could even be on the homepage. Usually what happens when it crashes is that my monitor goes black and it tells me "No Signal" and then you notice that the computer is not responding because you hear the repeat of one sound from Starcraft 2. Does anyone know what might be wrong? I've tried reinstalling it, has done no good. It doesn't crash on any other game I play only Starcraft 2. By the way I'm not very good with computer stuff, so if you could explain in detail that would be great thanks!

    If I'm thinking about the right thing when you mean that, I have Windows Vista. By the way just two days ago it happened to me while playing Day of Defeat, but it has never occurred when I play Counter-Strike: Source.

    It's your display driver resetting.

    This either means your driver is bad/outdated or your card can't handle it.

    Are you sure? Because it only started happening quite recently.

    I actually might think it's due to a heating problem because without even running Starcraft II, the max my GPU reaches is 91 C and with Starcraft II running the max is 111 C on my GPU. If it is a heating problem, how do I solve it. By the way I'm running a desktop not a laptop.

    What? 91 C and 111 C, i thin that you have found your problem, my GPU stays between 45 and 50 C with starcraft 2 running on Ultra, you shold probably clean your pc(inside the casing) and improve the ventilation.

    Dear Lord. How is your tower not smoking? You could quite literally fry an egg and boil some water for your morning tea on that.

    If it was a laptop, you'd have serious burns on your, er, lap.
