EPTI don't believe this is video card overheating because my screen would just freeze, the ambiance music would still work fine, and the screen doesn't turn black Sc2 just freezes and I can't windows or alt-tab anyone else experiencing this problem or have fixed this issue?

1) Start of game (i.e. you see your 6 peons, and then freeze) 2) End of game - I click "Victory" and the screen freezes (but mumble is still running). Either way, 15s pass and I'm back on desktop with SC2's "Error Reporting" window open - FTL. I have HWMonitor open, so I know temps are not a problem for me either. | ||

Use a GPU temperature monitoring program that has some kind of overlay and periodically glance at it in game. When GPUs overheat many of them throttle, which can cause the freezing -but your background applications such as music won't be affected. | ||

here is what i did. 1) Launch SC2 2) Alt Tab and go into task manager 3) right click on sc2.exe and select set affinity 4) select just 1 or 2 cores. that seemed to fix it for me. | ||
