hello.

I crash a lot like 5-10 minutes in. I've read a lot of threads about this, but it's hard to figure out why.

----

you might notice that I am playing sc2 on a laptop. I have tried installing an updated version of the ATI drivers, but they are designed for the desktop version. I've tried using the old ATI drivers that my manufacturer supplies (8.632.0.0 A) but it doesn't really solve anything. What should I do? The game is weird in that it can sometimes last for 40 minute games, but sometimes die in 5. what's up?

Rigly,

Make sure your laptop isn't overheating. Use a laptop cooler if possible.

You can also use the following program to monitor your system temps:

Rigly,

Are you using a wireless connection by any chance? If so, try wired and see if that makes any difference.
