I recently started going to a chiropractor, and I told him I was having the same problem - I try to maintain correct posture at the computer, but my back starts hurting after a while. He told me it's because the muscles that keep my back straight are weak, and they need to get stronger. Just maintain it as long as it's comfortable. Also, make sure you get up and move around at least once an hour. You don't want to maintain the shape of the chair. He gave me some exercises to do that strengthen the muscles in your back, neck, and shoulders. I can tell you some if you like. They are working for me.
