Mac Mini and Samsung SyncMaster 205BW together with PC

I want to connect my Samsung 205BW with both device at the same time. (Using DVI for Mac Mini and D-Sub with PC). Last time when I bought my Mac Mini and follow the above setting, it broke down with no display. (used only for 7 hrs..) I dunno if it is related to my LCD or just "bad luck". Now I am waiting for my new Mini back. Anyone using the mini with similar configuration as mine? Or any clue about this?

PC, Mac Mini Intel, Windows XP Pro

I am using the Samsung 204B, not sure if this is similar. I have an XP Pro machine (older) and my Mac Mini (current version) on a DVI KVM switch. I noticed if you loose the connection to the Windows PC I have to restart the computer to get the display back.

My video for the Mini would drop out every so often. I had to download SwitchResX and set up a custom setting of 1600x1200 with a 135MHz pixel clock for the monitor to work well with the Mini.
