Well, I just got a new System, but somehow it always crashes when i play starcraft 2 for longer then 10 minutes.

I got an
Processor: i7 920 on a 1366 socket
RAM: 6G DDR3 RAM
card: Nvidia GFX295

Some seperate case fan as well.

I always get an alarm of my heat sensors starting at midgame, that graphic card is overheating, by about 65 up to 70 celsius. Then the system shuts down for overheating protection.

First I changed everything down from ultra, to high, then to medium, nothing happened, always the same problem. Then I switched the resolution down, now it appears to work without restarting, but its still pretty hot.
I just ran some Benchmark tests on the system and everything seems to be okay. Could this be a problem with the game? I cant imagine, that this system cant take that game into high-res prefences...

thank you very much for your help, i really do appreciate it!

Lilith,

Can you also post some information about your computer? You can find this information in the Direct X Diagnostic Tool:

Click on Start
Click on Run
Type in: dxdiag (In Vista, type dxdiag in the search field)
Hit Enter or OK

Click on the Save All Information button at the bottom, and create a dxdiag text file, and copy and paste the first half of the dxdiag file (down to the "Sound devices" section) into your reply.

Lilith,

Try different driver versions for your video card and see if that has any effect.

Lilith,

Can you open up your case and make sure dust isn't piling up especially around your video card. Also, check to make sure your fans are ensuring proper airflow.

Lilith,

Have you tried reverting to a different driver version? If so, it maybe an issue with the video card itself.

Lilith,

Q u o t e:
I did installed the first version of the drivers, that one you did recommended in a thread earlier and well, I did installed direkt 10 ten on it was well. I might try a different set as well...

Let me know if a different video card helps.
