Good point, I'll get back to you on that as soon as I have a good clear example. Some important updates: Graphics card has been replaced with a newer 4850, mobo has been replaced (from p5e3 to p5q3 deluxe). Problems still persist. However, I now found out that some people report...

The best example is the demo I linked in the OP where the 'tentacle' centerpiece is simply completely missing. Problems are harder to find in games but they are clearly there as well. Yup, I know, but all these demos worked flawlessly about a month ago with no change in hardware since. And...
