Company IS / IT Stating That Changing Display Settings Freezes Comps?

At my work, the IS / IT department recently released a briefing that changing the computer display settings can cause the computers to freeze. I've never heard of this and can only find references to problems like this involving drivers, games, etc. This statement is a blanket statement and meant in general (i.e. - computer is not used for anything other than internet browsing and MS Office applications). Below are the specs for the computers:

IBM Lenovo
Intel Core 2 Duo E6550 @ 2.33 GHz
OnBoard Video - Intel Q35 Chipset, Intel 3100 GPU
Samsung SyncMaster 920n LCD Monitors
2 GB RAM

I was just wondering if anybody else has any input regarding the possibility that something like changing the display resolution, etc. could cause a computer to freeze in general use situations.

Thanks,

I thought it was something like that - generalizing the conditions for fear the user is incapable of understanding the technicalities. The only other thing I could think of is that if users are setting resolutions / refresh rates outside of the monitors’ capabilities and the system is not resetting after the 15-second time auto-reset.

Thanks for the input, any body else have any ideas??
