It seems that this game has a known bug that melts video cards in the main menu.

If your graphics card overheats under 100% load, it is not really the applications fault, now is it?
Granted the menu should have a FPS cap for practical purposes, but if your hardware is damaged due to inadequate cooling you need to take that up with the hardware manufacturer, not Blizzard.

Graphic cards are not designed to carry 100% load 100% of the time.

Wow this is gonna be a big action suit. Glad I dident get the game

Apparently, the game's menu screens aren't framerate-limited. This means that when there's nothing else going on, your graphics hardware renders the bejeezus out of those screens, causing nasty overheating problems
