    So for the past few days I have been trying to figure out what in the world is wrong with my computer when playing starcraft. I don't think that it is the driver for the gpu, as the computer crashes even with other drivers. I read that it may possibly be because I need to update my BIOS

    Is there any truth to this? My BIOS is Ver A08 1.00

    i don´t know if its true but try to upgrade to a09...

    but seriously i don´t think its because of the bios, cause when the pc crushed while gaming, i think its the RAM or the HDD, but try if it works you got luck :)
