ya i would also say try different drivers.. (im running 169.09 which is the latest 32b XP and i think for vista theres 169.12 ...but im also only running a single 8800gts 640mb) tho it could be just dod being gay (wierd that its mainly in dod lol)
im assuming you run in opengl and not directx right? do you overclock the card(s)? what about forced AF/AA? (ive found setting transparency AA to supersampling causes some problems for me but runs fine on multisampling)
if its really bothering you i would take out one of the cards and see if it still happens running the single card.. maybe dod doesnt like the sli (even tho dod shouldnt be using the sli anyway)
and what resolutions you run (desktop & ingame) cause i run my desktop at 1680x1050 and i run all my games at that as well, but i never had problems running at different resolutions before.. but again the SLI probably is a factor here (did i ever tell you how stupid sli is anyway lol..)
you know whats funny.. i was having some serious freezing (requiring reboot) in cod4 when i realized it just seemed to be a conflict between other software running at the same time.. found if i close everest and keep HLDS open and not minimized i get no problems (for some reason when the HLDS is minimized on my pc, it uses insane amounts of cpu sometimes, but leaving it open on the desktop and it never spikes) so again like already said.. see what else you got running and check that stuff out cause i still dont understand how or why everest & hlds are being gay lol..
and i know you're not an idiot..(well.......) but i like to pretend you are
