Go in your Starcraft folder and search for a folder called "Errors". There should be a file in there. Copy-paste the contents here.

If there is no errors folder, make sure you have no other programs running in the background during gameplay.

Click on CTRL+ALT+DEL and End Task on everything except Explorer and Systray.

Quote from Rapmaster :

"try http://www.goldmemory.cz

It has a program to scan your RAM for defects

It could also be a problem with drivers or hardware conflicts-- have you changed anything on your computer recently, or this just happening out of the blue?"

When you try to open the file, are you using a program such as winzip that can unpack zip files? If you don't have such software installed you won't be able to extract the contents.
http://www.winzip.com/ to get winzip.
