Game Crashes with 2 Monitors

Anyone else run into this?
I have a Nvidia GeForce RTX 3060 Ti video card.
When I run in solo monitor mode, it works fine and haven't experienced a crash. When I use dual monitor mode I use the other for browsing, movies etc and it crashes the game. It will sometimes crash while just sitting on the character select screen. I don't know if it matters but I've run the 2nd monitor with both DP and HDMI with the same result. The main is on DP.
It doesn't appear to be overheating. I had run a 2 monitor setup on a 900 series Nvidia and played ESO, streamed etc without any issue. That would run hot, but never had a crash.

Any help is greatly appreciated.

    EVGA RTX 3060 Ti FTW with 2 monitors, no problems. ESO lets me pop back and forth.

    Are you running ESO full screen or windowed?

    Hmm. This is what I have for my video settings in ESO.

    The monitors are not identical, but both are wide screen 1920x1080. One is DP and the other is DP converted to DVI-D. They are configured in Windows to extend the desktop.

    ESO runs on the first display. I currently have Multithreaded Rendering turned off, as it really didn't make much noticeable difference on this system but it did heat things up a little more.

    Thanks for the help so far. I've changed those settings around and nothing has helped yet.

    I know this has to be a coincidence, but I've bought crowns numerous times during the sale and after each purchase the problem seems to have gotten worse. I was going to stockpile with one more purchase this morning, but I fear the game won't launch at all afterwards. :D

    EDIT: Its now crashing on just one monitor as well...

    I reinstalled the game and still had crashes.

    I then reinstalled the game on the primary SSD and all has been well...so far today. Going on 5 hours, which is a new record for staying online since this started happening.

    If it holds then there was a problem with the 2nd SSD.

    Tha't would make for a very interesting SSD failure. Have you run any diagnostics on it?

    There are a few more steps you can try found in the link below.

    What do I do if ESO is crashing with the error "ESO has stopped working"?
