Just saw this post and figured with all the Starcraft 2 players we've got around these boards it's worth noting. There's an issue with the game that can overheat graphics cards because the ingame menu screens (like the bar, etc) aren't framerate limited.
To fix it (probably good to do even if it doesn't cause issues for you, just in case):

Amazing how fast this fix has propagated around the forums. Strange that Blizzard missed this one.
It's possible that they found it and it just didn't make release to get fixed. Really the bug is that the game sucks up more power then it should in some cases, but the crashing it causes is due to hardware with inadequate cooling. That's not really their fualt.
No doubt the next patch will fix it though.
This issue was raised in BETA, and the fix was originally discovered there. They've known about it for a quite a while.
