Hello,

I built my computer 8ish months ago and it worked completely fine until 3 days ago when my computer crashed with two solid colors on my dual monitors while playing starcraft 2. I couldnt do anything but hold the power button to get my computer to start working again. I hoped that it wouldnt happen again but alas, while playing starcraft 2(specifically this game) the next day, it gave me two solid colors again(like yellow and some other color) for about 10 seconds before the screens turned black. I was carefully listening to my desktop and it sounded fine as if everything was completely normal. Now, today, I played CSGO and LoL instead of SC2 because it only happened in that game and everything was completely fine. I'm wondering if any of my hardwares are failing or if it's a software issue. I updated all my graphics drivers, bios, etc but it still happened. Mind that this only happened twice but im scared that it might happen again. I checked my CPU temps and GPU temps and they were all pretty normal, CPU ranging from 40-50 and GPU ranging from 40-50.

Specs:
i5 4590
GTX 970
Asrock H97M Pro4 Series
XFX TS 550WPSU

Thanks for the help~

Does it completely freeze up or is there still sound? If there is still sound go within the Battle.net client to
Options > Game Settings > Reset In-Game Options. If it still happens I would reinstall the game. Could just be a corrupt file.
