Hi, this might not be a starcraft issue, but I figured I’d start here in case someone has had a similar experience. Starcraft starts up normally, then a few seconds into game play it lags down to one frame per second. Closing out of the game takes forever, but once both the game and battlenet are closed the internet is still slow, with a speed test saying the computer is at 2 Mbps when it is usually over 100. The internet stays this slow for five to ten minutes before I get the blue screen of death and the computer shuts off. The internet speed is back to normal once I turn the computer back on.
A few details:
.I have windows 8
.This is a six year old computer, but it has never had a blue screen of death crash before.
.Starcraft worked fine about three weeks ago. Since then both the computer and the game had an update.
.I’ve been able to replicate the sequence of starting starcraft, lag, slow internet, and computer crash four times.
.I haven’t had any other problems with any other games (yet).
.My computer is connected to the internet directly through an ethernet cable. I have another computer and a cellphone connected via wifi and neither experience any internet slowdown while my computer is struggling.
I have no idea how to troubleshoot this problem. So any help would be great. Thank you.
