Have any of you had any problems with SC2? Maybe it's a driver issue with the 8 series?
I don't do any one thing in particular for this to happen in game. At random times the game will pause, the screen gets choppy and the audio goes crazy. I hear blurps, tears, and other random sounds. I can CTRl ALT DEL my way out of it, but after I do, nothing runs normally. I can open up Chrome and the web pages look weird, even my start menu does. Steam is just a black box with nothing showing inside of it. All my gadgets either freeze or turn odd colors. It's like anything on the screen that requires moving or doing something, is blank or scrambled. When I open up a web page, and I scroll down, it scrambles the web page. A simple Windows restart fixes this, but it's a persistent problem with SC2.
This only happens after I close SC2, no other game. I can play Fallout NV, L4D2, and any other game for hours on end, and they all run fine. During SC2, my memory usage goes up past 3GB, with only SC2 and Steam open. I don't get a low memory message, but it seems when my memory usage goes up that high in the game, that's when it crashes. I have a gadget running that monitors my GPU temp, and it says 75C when in SC2, but when idle, it's at 60C.
At first I thought maybe it was taxing my computer too much. I'm able to play the game @ 1280x1024 (I know, I know, I need a new monitor haha), with everything on Ultra. So I turned everything down to High and some on Medium, but I still run into the same problem.
This could be posted in the HW troubleshooting section, as it could be my video card, but the only issue I have is with SC2, it sounds like a problem with the game.
