Hmmmm, funky actin' 8500, 2 bad motherboards and 2 bad CPU's?

Different drivers, different OS....

Two Guesses:

1) Bad luck combined with bad monitor?
Have you tried a different monitor? Or the card in a different box?

2) Bad Power Supply? What brand? How many watts?
 
I?ll go with what gregor7777 said. Check the monitor, it could be the convergence or focus is off giving you the red outline.
