BSOD after Playing Fear

I just installed two brand new EVGA 7900 GTX's in my PC (SLi of course). I haven't had any problems with it until tonight. I played FEAR for about 2 hours in the early evenin and had no problem, then tonight i was doing fine until I noticed the game started showing some artifacts (which I heard happens in FEAR when using SLi) so I decided to quit out. Well my screen goes black and my monitor says 'no signal' then it comes back on with the blue screen of death saying..
There is an error with NV4_disp
Error message: STOP 0x000000EA THREAD_STUCK_IN_DEVICE_DRIVER

So I did what it said and updated the drivers (from the ones on Nvidia's site to the ones on EVGA's site) and tried again. Same thing, played the game for a bit, went to quit..wash rinse repeat.

Has anyone else had this problem and know how to fix it?

I'm running
AMD FX-60 Dual Core Processor
Asus A8v-32 SLI Delux Mobo
2GB's of Ram
2 x EVGA 7900 GTX
Soundblaster X-Fi Fatality

Thanks!

move the SLI cards to another box and see what happens.

reinstalling windows isn't necessary, but if you can't boot, then, do a repair via the windows CD. this will remove all your latest security updates, and other windows update related items.

before this, I would image your windows partition, enabling you to restore it to an earlier state.
But, if your windows partition is really large (mine is only 10gb), then imaging it may not be possible (you lack HD space for the large 40gb image, or similar)
