After I played SC2 for quite awhile...My computer crashed. I had to perform a system recovery to get it up and running again. Everything seemed fine until I booted up SC2. I could play for 2 minutes,give or take, before my computer would seize up and cease to work, No blue screen or beeping, It would just stop. It will also do the same thing when I have a certain amount of programs open(steam, chrome,catalyst, and the SC2 launcher caused it to crash) I checked the internal components to see if they were loose or damaged,as the case was moved recently. Nothing was wrong with them, everything is seated properly. I tried doing a security sweep and clearing the cache with ccleaner. It would still do the same thing. At this point I do not know what is the issue. Any and all help will be appreciated.
Here are the specs:
ASUS M5A97 motherboard
8 GB RAM
AMDFX 6-core processor
XFX 7870 GPU
500GB Seagate HDD
750w Coonix PSU

Have you tried running a program to see if you are using all your RAM? What is your RAM speed? If it is exceeded this can happen, though I doubt it. Have you overclocked your RAM? If you have, it's more likely you have gone too aggressive in your overclock and cannot achieve stability under load.
