    I have been stable at 164mhz FSB since day one, running hours of prime95, crysis, WoW, diablo, and the only BSOD I get is when I play SC2 for an extended period of time without any GPU overclock. I have recieved about 3 BSOD in about a months time spent playing SC2. Is it SC2 or is it my CPU OC? I downclocked to 162mhz and ill report if it stops but it happens so infrequently that itll be hard to tell.

    Maybe reinstalled the game will help. I had a similar issue when this happened to me before, but..... I'm not promising anything. It's better to live on hope than nothing!

    Uninstall, delete the starcraft 2 folder, reboot your computer... THEN install starcraft2 again. :)

    gl, hope it helps.

    Does it overheat a lot? Was your fan spinning like mad when the blue screen appeared?

    Reinstall your SC2... btw make sure your laptop is virus free, I am considering getting an m11x r1 these days myself. Does Sc2 run smooth on your rig?
