One additional experiment you can do, and I suspect Kubuntu passes every time, is boot the machine with the monitor plugged into each port one at a time. Do complete power downs between each boot. If Kubuntu comes up it will really tell you a stable, tested OS has solved these problems. If it doesn't then that's good info also. I think possibly you purchased a Quadro adapter? I don't know how popular those are amongst this crowd but they have been very popular in business settings. That might make a bigger difference in terms of the nvidia driver vs the Open Source one.
