Standard operating procedure for this kind of behavior:
Download HWMonitor. Play a game until the problems happen. Afterward, check your maximum CPU and Video Card temperatures and report them here.
Your PC should be able to play the game on low settings with no problem, up to 1900x1200. Yeah the video card sucks terribly but it's fine for low settings. And the CPU is definitely good.

So sc2 uses just 2 cores right? I have a quad core CPU, with hyperthreading, So 8 virtual cores, right? I was wondering wether or not sc2 is able to use 4 or just 2 of them.

hmm.. is it possible to disable hyperthreading? How big would the improvement in performance be? My CPU is a i7 2630QM.

You shouldn't need to disable HT to gain performance in SC2 unless you're having strange priority stuff with other software.
You can disable through BIOS sometimes, as for whether your laptop will let you, no clue.
Most people only disable HT to free up some thermal headroom for higher OCs for less threaded applications, like most real gaming scenarios. (Most benchmarks, HT is better than an extra 100-200 Mhz, so it's definitely just for real world stuff like gaming.)

THX, I tried HWM monitor, the video card was max 61 C° and the CPU max was max 47 C°, So I think heating isnt the problem, right?
For example, when there are many units on screen, it takes about 3/10th of a second to start scrolling my screen, while in empty screens this is going instant.
Could it be a problem that my videocard (which I found out costs just a whopping 37 Euro LOL) can not handle 2 screens (30" and 24") while playing SC2?
Even while it's a crappy videocard I think while everything is on low it should work good all the time right?

Hey guys,
I'm going to be buying a new laptop soon for university, but I have been struggling to find a decent one. This laptop will probably not be used for gaming exclusively (however I would want it to be able to run SC2 smoothly on average graphic settings). My budget is max 1k after taxes and I'm trying to aim for something that has:
- i7 processor
- 1 GB graphic card
- 750 HDD
- 8 GB of RAM
I have had bad experiences with Acer and HP laptops, but aside from those two, any brand with a reasonable reputation is open for suggestion. So, do you guys have any suggestions, advice, recommended sites to find deals, etc? Thanks for your help!

Which would be better for playing sc2 on ultra quality and having the better fps?
amd phenom ii x4 965 or Intel i3 2100?

So i cant remove a virus, i cant find its root path, i cant find any information on it. All i can do is close its process in the task manager and then everythings fine untill the next startup (where i have to do the same shit.)
All it does (or what ive noticed) is make IE crash constantly, no new tabs, barely able to google something etc, just constant "not responding" also not allowing me to uninstall programs while its on.
The name of the process is [adegl.exe *32 // "Foolish BracingManager"]
Any ideas guys?

Right click the process and click "open file location"?

I just recently purchased a laptop and usually use function keys as camera hotkeys in game. The function keys on my laptop have pre-assigned uses such as changing volume and screen brightness. If I press fn and use the function it ignores their use, but if I did not press fn it does whatever it was meant to do. How do I change this so that when I press fn the key will do its duty (change volume) and when I do not press fn it does nothing?

I´m dowloading SC2 now. Got a ThinkPad with C2D, 2GB, Radeon X1400 and XP.
What´s the best resource for maximising SC2 performance?

Okay, I have quite a simple question, I'd appreciate the help 
I've just ordered a laptop (For uni), I found one which seems pretty good for it's price, but I have 3 questions:
1.) Would the i3-2367M be a bottleneck to the Geforce GT 640M?
2.) Would I be able to overclock the i3-2367M to make it more capable of gaming?
3.) If I were to overclock, what clock speed would I expect to get?
Gaming is not the primary focus, it would just be a really nice extra. I'm not looking to play next-gen games, I just wanna play the odd 2009-2010 game at <30 fps
Thanks a lot for the help!

The average laptops aren't built for heavy gaming use, let alone overclocking... unless you want to melt the entire thing. You can only do so much with a dual core processor that's built specifically for laptop systems. Sure, you could get some games to run decently, but don't expect it to be a performance workhorse.

i3-2367M is too slow for many games. It's an underclocked Sandy Bridge i3, so no Turbo Boost. 1.4 GHz, honestly? A computer would be better off with an old mid-high end Core 2 Duo.
Most laptop BIOS do not support overclocking, for good reasons.

Setting everything to lowest possible settings. The X1400 is in big trouble and will make playing the game unpleasant no matter what you do. Depending on clock speed and other factors, the C2D may be a problem as well, particularly multiplayer or late game.

Thanks for the reply, I'd just like some sort of idea on how bad this thing is for gaming - would you at least be able to answer one thing - I want to make sure this £500 laptop is at least better than the one I have now:
Is the i3-2367M better than the AMD Athlon x2 Dual Core ql-64.
And can I expect to get more than 25fps on 2-3 year old games with that CPU/GPU config?
Thanks muchly.

What model number is the AMD processor you have now? If you know the clock speed and maybe cache, that may identify it as well.
An i3-2367M is a little slower than some of the Athlon II X2 mobile processors (e.g. Athlon II P360) but definitely faster than some of the older stuff which was not as common I think (e.g. Athlon Neo X2 L325).
GT 640M smacks around all the older stuff that wasn't inside the huge and bulky laptops.

Sorry I updated my post a bit late - It's an AMD Athlon QL-64 2.1GHz.
Unfortunately the new one has been dispatched now so there's nothing I can do about it. I've been trying to find out whether I could upgrade the CPU on this laptop to an i5-2467 in the future, but I have no idea if that's possible, and I can't find any information on it.
Would the GT 640M GPU make up for what is lacking in the CPU? Sorry that I'm going on a bit in what was oriiginally supposed to be a short question.
