Starcraft 2 freezing black screen on startup

I have been playing SC2 for about a week now on my m14x without any problems. Today I turned it on and the screen went black and the cursor froze before i could even get to the login screen. I had to force shutdown my m14x. upon restart, i tried again and the same issue...this went on for about 3 cycles until i decided to reinstall SC2 thinking it shud surely fix the problem. Here I am now with a fresh copy of SC2 installed and when i try opening it...THE SAME THING!!! Black screen with frozen cursor...can someone help me out here?

 

Never had problem playing sc2 day in and day out.lol.

Try to whitelist sc2 again. it might fix the problem. if not, try to reinstall gpu driver. I currently use 275.33 driver.

 

when you say "whitelist" what do you mean exactly? Like make sure its running using nvidia graphics card? And is the gpu driver for the graphics card?? sorry for the noob questions

 

yes. just go to nvidia control panel > manage 3d settings > starcraft 2> nvidia processor and click apply.

if you want to update your driver, just go to laptopvideo2go.com and download the gpu driver 275.33 with mod inf.

 

thanks I white listed it under the control panel....same problem

 

try using a different driver.

make sure that you close all running apps when you open sc2.

 

ok...is this the same driver you are using for nvidia?

NVIDIA DRIVERS 275.33 WHQL

 

Yes. That's right.

 

i received this message when trying to install the driver

 

You need to copy and paste the mod inf file you downloaded to your installer folder.

 

ok can you explain how to do that in a little bit of detail, I am a noob

 

Just go to the installer folder where you unpacked the driver 275.33. Insid the installer folder your will see a subfolder named "display.driver." Just open it and copy and replace the nvwi.inf with the mod inf you downloaded from laptopvideo2go.com. After this just run the set up again and you should be able to install the driver. Good luck!

 

i got to the display.driver folder and located the nvwi file. i can't seem to figure out where the "mod inf" file is that you speak of. i dloaded driver from the laptopviduo2g0.com and it had me extract the install folder in which i found the display.driver folder...where is the mod inf ??

 

Go back to laptopvideo2go.com and download the mod inf file. It should be below the driver you downloaded. Good luck!
