i retrieved the computer from the merchant's shop an hour ago, and set it up with the new 19" monitor using its digital input connector. The computer and the monitor decided between them, without involving me, that 1280x1024 at 60Hz is the way to go, which is what I wanted. Clearly, the lack of EDID information from the monitor was the root of the problem. With the old monitor removed from its restrictive location, in which it was clumsy to try to make out its date of manufacture, I see that it was made in 2003. Either it lacked the EDID support from the beginning, or it lost it at some later point. It has only an analog input; is EDID supported only in digital monitors? The spontaneous reboot behavior didn't occur over the weekend while the technician was letting the computer run -- in other words, a rare event happened not to occur in a specific two-day interval. If it happens again, I will print out the relevant section of the log to show them.
