Simply put, ATI & Maya don't mix very well, especially in versions before Maya 6.5.
With my 9800pro I had that exact issue in Maya 5, except when the computer went blank it was recovered through the 9800's VPU recover option.
Maya 6.5 is a lot more stable, thankfully, though it will still crash if you have anti-aliasing and anisotropic filtering enabled, and it wont' even start if you have vsync on.
best permanent solution would be a different vid card which is on Alias's compatibility list, but otherwise its a tough thing to give fixes for.

I changed my monitor refresh rate to 75 hertz and that seems to have given me more stability. I did around 4 hours work on Maya yesterday, without a crash . . . that's a record for me.
You may need to play with your display settings on your card, it may help. The best solution is going to be a new card . . which is one of the options I'm currently looking at.
