Agreed. This is why testing it in the environment it was (sadly only) engineered to work in ie. Windows would give a useful baseline. Can you try it with an Ubuntu live cd instead? Those guys do nice stable stuff with driver/setting combinations.

A couple of points

Check the temperature of the card too.  Try and see if increasing the load
on it can trigger the condition.  Also compare the cards diagnostics in
Linux and Windows.
I can do the first two, but not the third (no Windows around here).
nouveau-pci-4000
Adapter: PCI adapter
temp1:        +81.0°C  (high = +100.0°C, crit = +120.0°C)
That's with the machine mostly idle.
As far as I am concerned that temps way to high for an idle video card, if
its the cards real temp. Next time you turn the system on try to read the
temp as soon as possible to see if starts out near room temp. Even being
pushed with a lot of 3D work the temps on my system, video card being a
Radeon 5870, rarely exceed 65 degrees C.
If the temp is real may be the card has an air flow restriction, say to
many cables around the place, or if it has a fan it requires cleaning and a
drop of oil.

Second point may be minor, I am slightly suspicious of the monitor not
coming back after being switched off and on. I have struck some older
monitors that will not sync to a high resolution signal when restarted but
it would be rare these days.

Using Linux now for a few months under twenty years,
