XServer burned my LCD twice

This is my company's  development machine where other developers have
the same machine and the same external monitor. I'm the only developer
using linux on these machines and the only developer who had their
machine's LCD burned twice so this makes me conclude that  my problem
it highly likely related to X11. I am almost 100% sure that we are
using identical machines same BIOS, same hardware spec, same
everything.  I might be wrong and I sure hope that I am because the
developers using windows are having a good laugh at my expense.
