So i bought Starcraft 2 the other day! (trust me i was as excited as a kid on Christmas day who find a pony in his living room)
After playing my brains out for six hours it started getting a little choppy i just ignore it and assumed my computer was just having some hiccups. Later on after mindless hours of play the game started to lock up for 30 seconds and go back to normal, every so often, it started becoming more common as time went on until the game was unbearable.
I've had problems like this before while playing WoW but it never happened so much in WoW it only happens in one specific dungeon and nowhere else, it happened while playing the RIFT beta, but that's the only games Ive experienced this problem in. When it happened while playing WoW it would alt+tab and i warning text would come up and say my drivers have crashed momentarily and recovered...though it doesn't come up anymore.
Please HAAAALP me! =D

edit: changed my mind. Are your drivers updated? And is DirectX updated?
-cleaning out HSFs of the CPU and GPU. Blowing compressed air through your PSU is a good idea too. Stick something in the fans to hold them still when you clean stuff with compressed air. Not doing so can mess up or reduce the lifespan of the bearings.
-returning any overclocks to normal.
-increasing fan speed on the GPU to 100% (this will catch more problems than you'd think. For a 4xxx series Radeon, I'd actually do this first.)
Past there I try hardware swaps (PSU, GPU) and then alternate software/windows installations.
