Lapsan,
I assume your video card has dual output? If that is the case, you just need to make sure you install the software from nVidia. It should give you a program that allow you to use both video outputs and set up split screen.

What does it mean when my computer is driving hard then I hear beeping and it auto reboots? Keep in mind, this computer is new.

it can mean a lot of things, first that come to mind would be over heating. check CPU fan and any other fans available. The beep you hear is probably the same beep you hear from the "POST" test. Another would be, did you add any new hardware conflict if you added new hardware prior to the problem.
Is it a Branded comp or a custom comp?

no new hw or sw installed. This is a customed built one. It could be overheating, but the huge fan is set on high while there are other fans on the cpu and video card.
It would sound like its driving really hard, then i hear a couple of beep, lag and BOOT!

Have you changed any settings in the BIOS? Does it actually boot up to the OS? What OS are you running? Who built your custommed PC?
If you have not changed any settings in the BIOS or added any new s/w or h/w - check your CPU fan and see if it's actually running? The first thing that usually heats up is the CPU - if it's heat that your dealing with.
How old is that PC? Any warranty?

It boots up as if you did a hard reset.

Alvin, I'm talking about a disconnected keyboard.
You can also try to reboot your system and while rebooting press F8. Then go to safe mode.
