I have a feeling this is what's causing your issues. USB video is not very reliable, and shouldn't be run during system critical operation. If you're running either the MBox 2 or the video adapter through a USB hub, this could also be an issue, since NEITHER should be pushed through a hub.

You're better off running video through the cardbus slot, if you're really sold on using the extra monitor. It will be far more stable, and will steal less system resources. A decent video card for the slot will be a bit more expensive, but the difference in performance/stability will be quite noticeable.
