Hi
I first got a crash in starcraft 2 when playing the campaign, played a load of multiplayer matches before that and never crashed. Thought it was because of some settings, turned some down, got another crash in campaign. Didn't care about campaign that much so stopped playing it.
Now it happened as well in a multiplayer game. Both my screens (dual monitor) go black, and my fans in my pc start spinning really loudly (I would think GPU fans), so I have to hard-reset/power down, it's kind of a scary occurence when it happens so I don't really want to play anymore while this could happen.
I have a nvidia GTX 1060 6gb GPU, intel i5 8400 cpu, msi motherboard.
I've read that the nvidia drivers for this game are absolute wank, so this could probably be the problem? Does anyone have a fix or know what exactly the problem is?
Thanks

i have had an almost identical recurring crash problem in the past (my PC restarted on its own after the blackout and fans) and it had zero to do with starcraft, i think it ended up being a CPU overheating issue with me because i hadn't looked at any of my fan diagnostics in years. SC2 was contributing though because it is CPU intensive
that's just what it was for me, gl fixing your problem

sounds like an overheating cpu. fps limiting is one idea: https://eu.battle.net/support/en/article/32248 -frameratecapglue is menu (maybe campaign aswell).
edit: I think you have 120+++fps most of the time. I would do -frameratecap=70 (or 120 if you have a 120 Hz monitor) -frameratecapglue=30

I second that it sounds like something overheating, probably CPU.
If it is something that is occuring now, but didn't occur in the past, it might be something as simple as dust clogging some fan. Open up your PC and have a look, and maybe clean out all the dust.
If that is not it, you could run some diagnostics and a CPU stress test to see whether your CPU is getting to hot. You could also do the same for your GPU. HWMonitor (and probably dozens of other programs) lets you monitor temperatures, and FurMark lets you do stresstests on CPU and GPU. If you do that and get any temps above 90°C, something with your cooling setup is wrong, and you should figure that out if you want your CPU to survive. Anything below 80°C is usually fine.
