All the setting in the game are at the lowest setting they can be.

there shouldn't be any problem running sc2, I run mine on med-high with 4vs4 and i get 25-29 fps through out the game.
Which drivers are you using and do you have it white-listed?

Did you update your Bios, update your graphics drivers, and whitelist SC2 so that it plays with the 335m and not the intel graphics card?

I dont know what "Whitelist" and I dont know what is BIOS or how to access it.
Yes I did update my drivers and my Nvidia card from downloading the updates drivers off of Dell.com
I have the Alienware M11x R2. The "R2" does not have the "Binary change" button on "F6." So I dont exactly know how to change from intel graphics card to nvidia graphics card, and vice versa.
SC2 at lowest graphics is not working for me, i dont know why.
I do not know how to "Over-clock" my system, so if someone can please tell me how to do that to, it would be nice to know for M11x R2.
I have the following in my computer:
Intel Core i7CPU U640 @ 1.20 GHz 1.20 GHz
4.00 GB installed RAM
Windows 7 home edition 64-bit operating system
Intel(R) HD Graphics
NVIDIA GeForce GT 335M
300GB SSD
Thank you everyone for helping me out with this problem.

The simplest troubleshooting step would be to create a shortcut to SC2 on your desktop if you've not done so already. Right click on it and higlight the "run with graphics processor" option then select "high performance NVIDIA processor" and see what happens.

definitely read up on this thread for white listing:
M11x R2 NVidia Optimus Issues/Whitelisting Problems
and this one for overclocking:
How to Supercharge the M11x with Core i5/i7 UM CPUs
as for SC2 - read the whitelist thread (and youtube video), follow instructions and see if your problem persists. Other than that, SC2 was huge for threads back in July when it released, most info is found there (And subsequent threads) for the best settings.
Enjoy (btw, nice 300gbSSD)

Yes sir I did exactly what you said and about 5-8 minutes into a 1v1 sc2 game at low settings, the screen freezes and the computer crashes and restarts. I had done 3 attempts and all 3 times it crashed.

Others here will help you, but just fyi SC2 runs great on the m11xr2, so it's a software issue, not the laptop to worry about. You can get by playing the game with stock cpu speeds by updating your nvidia driver, but if more fps is important to you then you will need to overclock your cpu in the bios, preferably at the highest stable settings.
