My computer crashes during Starcraft 2. Is it due to overclocking or something else?
On average, my computer crashes about once every 10-15 Starcraft 2 games in a row, but sometimes after the 2nd game! It doesn't restart the computer, it just kicks me out the game and gives me the 'crash report' and whether I want to send it to Blizzard. Sometimes it would crash when there's too much going on the screen (lots of action), and sometimes it would crash about 2 minutes in the game when there's barely anything happening. It seems to happen only to Starcraft 2 (the only PC game I play).
I got this computer used, but my friend said the previous guy may have overclocked it, so now I am wondering if this is the issue. If this is not the problem, what is?
I know my computer exceeds the minimum specifications for Starcraft. Here are the settings:
AMD Athlon 64 X2 Dual Core Processor 5200+ 3.02 GHz
RAM: 2 GB
64 bit operating system
Windows 7 Professional
Water coolant system
Graphics Card is ATI Radeon HD 5800 Series
Not only that, I am actually running the game on 'medium settings' even though my friend tested it out on Ultra. But when I do Ultra, it seems to crash more likely.
My internet connection is wired Ethernet.
Download speed: 14.15 Mbps
Upload: 1.03 Mbps
Ping: 12 ms
This is with my family using the internet right now.
Very confused. Anyone can give me some advice before I consider taking it into a shop? It's fairly new, so I am hoping I can do something manually.
