[solved] CGMiner crashes on second run.

First post here.. I'm having an odd issue with cgminer 3.7.2. I've got it set up with what seems to be stable parameters for my 2x Sapphire Dual X 7950's, but if I let it run for several hours and then go to restart it (to switch pools or whatever), it locks up the display drivers bad enough to require a reboot. If I leave it alone, it runs fine for hours.

I'm on Win 7 with a 1100w power supply and Catalyst 13.9. Right now, I've got one card turned way down since I have an airflow problem, but here's the batch file I'm using:

Code:
setx GPU_MAX_ALLOC_PERCENT 100
setx GPU_USE_SYNC_OBJECTS 1

cgminer.exe --scrypt -w 256,256 -I 17,11 -g 1 --gpu-engine 950-1080,950-1080 --gpu-memclock

1500,1500 --temp-target 69,72 --temp-overheat 75,78 --auto-gpu -o [pool] -O [worker login]
pause

Getting about 620kh/s on gpu 0, which I think is pretty good for I=17. Temps are 68-70C.

Anyone have any ideas what could cause this?
