The power shouldn't have anything to do with it. If it was power his comp would be locking up not just resetting the Refresh rate / res of the monitor. Also if it was the memory chips he would be seeing atrifacts on the screen, I believe this is an issue in the drivers or a defective card. First you should install drivers for your monitor, not just the Win XP ones, if there are any for your brand, but find some new ones and install them. Second, lock the Refresh rate of your monitor, this can be found under the Settings - Advanced - GF4 - Direct 3d - Refresh Rates. Win XP uses some 3d with there menus and other things so its worth a shot. I would suggest trying a new card in your comp, and then trying your card in a different comp. If it still happens, RMA the card and get a new one.

Oh and one more thing to try, Set your Graphics Arpiture size to 128, never know it might help.
