New Multiboxer Two Monitor 1 GFX Card Crashing

[ewanwalker_2001]

Hi,

I'm new to the whole Multiboxing route. Basically became interested in it after reading a PC Gamer article about a dude who could basically do his own 20 Man Raid in WOW. Have recently purchased a new Desktop PC and decided to give it all a go. I opened a second trial account with WOW. I ran WOW perfectly with two open copies of the game but only 1 monitor last night. Today however I hooked up a second 15 inch monitor to my setup and now my PC ends up crashing after about half an hour of play.

I'm just not too sure what to do in this situation. Have checked out a number of the other threads here but it all seems to be PC specific so I'm hoping someone can help me. The only change has been the monitor so I'm assuming that's the problem but I'm not too sure of a way to fix it.... I haven't tried anything too fancy like setting one exe to one core, could that help?

My PC setup is as follows:

Then of course I hooked up my old 15 Inch LCD Monitor.

Any help would be very much appreciated and my apologies for adding yet another dual monitor problem thread...

Do you have the latest ATI Catalyst drivers?

[ewanwalker_2001]

No, I had the Catalyst Version 8.7 and have since updated. It worked a charm, I have since managed to run both at the same time with no more crashing after half an hour.

My thanks,

Ex
