Hi Chris, I am terribly sorry to hear that you had such problems!
My money says that the DPMS reported high refresh rate for the panel. It
is the duty of the panels to report correct values, and sometimes some
do not. All the X can do is to attempt to use those values and some
panels have no sanity checks, leading into destruction. I have seen it
happen on some HP's laptop myself, and it certainly is possible with
some cheaper stand alone panels as well.
The only thing that the developers can do is to blacklist the monitor's
bogus values somehow (in case you can produce what X.org.log includes
when you started it up with that monitor...) and as for what comes to
the rest you should use the warranty.
