I have seen this problem on a fairly modern laptop - and tried to rule out overheating. After putting a giant floor fan under my rig, and trying to play SC - I finally concluded it was some freak bug and gave up. We think it might be related to the video driver, but we can't be sure. It was an ATI Mobility Radeon laptop video card. We never found a solution The things we tried - you can also try, but it didn't help us: We tried turning off all antivirus, spyware We tried changing the shared memory usage Running diagnostic memory viability tests Updating to the latest video display drivers Using the fan as aforementioned I did everything I could think of to rule out bad memory, including removing alternating memory sticks - this didn't work. The same computer will play War III albeit with low display settings and diablo Sorry I couldn't help. If you manage to fix it, plz post your info -- LTP :)
