There's an overheating problem in SC2 that blizzard confirmed too, the menus in the games don't have a max fps cap, so the gfx card kicks into overdrive trying to give you the best output, maxing it at 100% which makes it heat up really quick.

NVidia's 9800 series glitches more so then Vista's OS sometimes. My brother bought one and had nothing but problems with it. It could be defective, I'd recommend trying a different video card (from another computer maybe?) then if that doesn't work, look for a higher power supply.

I know my computer is updated and my graphics card as well. Is there anyway to fix this besides getting another fan and cleaning my computer of dust. As in, does anything else cause a computer screen to go black?!

I have windows 7
NVidia 9800 GT graphics card
Pentium 4 quad core processor with 2.5
I have about 300gbs on my HD and external HD

bullseye, its an overheating problem, check your temps when u play, attempt to keep them below 70c anything above that can harm your pc. a simple case mod can fix this, take off the cover and put a standard house fan on your pc and put that sucker on high, problem solved and no need to spend any money! ive had this problem before. easy way to make sure this is the actual problem and not a hardware issue, go to www.cpuid.com and download HWmonitor, the free version will do fine.
