Yeah, had to replace 4 leaking capacitors after approx 2 years too, since then
its running great again. However the same monitor works just fine with another
PC and also with the nvidia binary driver.
Thanks for the hint re. ReducedBlanking, will check it out once I *can* run at
the native resolution.

(back on topic)
Today I've found a reproducable kernel panic related to the external display 
might be related:

When I play a video in VLC on the external Monitor the kernel panics as soon as
I switch to fullscreen. Maximized window works.

I'll attach a screenshot of the OOPs.
