Dual Monitors Crashing!

Just recently I decided to add another monitor. Things will work just fine for a few minutes, but then the video card will crash, and I have to shut everything down (via power button). I have updated my motherboard drivers, AND video card drivers. I am also running on the latest CCC software. Anyone know a way around this?

Processor: AMD Athlon 64 x2 7750 (@ 3.1ghz)
Motherboard: ECS nforce9m-a
RAM: ECS Sli-Ready DDR2 1066
Video Card: HIS HD 4830
PSU: Antec Earthwatts 430w -- I know it's enough power, so pretty sure that's not the problem.

Let me take a shot in the dark and say that you're running the Windows 7 RC.

My friend is having the exact same problem, and I have been able to do nothing to fix it.

Also, he has my old 4830, and that same power supply! Are you running either monitor with an HDMI cord / converter?

Nope, Vista 32 bit

I am running with one converter, the other monitor had HDMI input. Excuse me, I didn't mean to say I updated DRIVERS, I mean to say BIOS. I updated video card and motherboard bios to try and solve things, no go. ATI really dropped the ball there.. makes me want to cry..
