Windows Central Question

I have a Surface Pro 2 with a Dock, which I use for playing games (not necessarily graphically intensive, like the Walking Dead game from Telltale). To do this I've connected a monitor to the Surface Dock via an HIS Multi-View Adapter.

The games keep crashing when I'm using the second monitor, but not when I use just the Surface, I'm wondering what could be causing the problem with the HIS Multi-View adapter. The adapter has a USB connection on one end (plugged to the Dock) and a DVI cable on the other end (plugged to the monitor).

Do you think this wouldn't be a problem if I used the mini Display port on the Dock? (I'd need to buy a cable to try this).

Thanks for your help!
