Yes, I did actually try different HD cables
I indeed did not try with a different PSU or Elbox tower, so who knows.. but do you really think that is going to cause artifacts on every second RTG screen opened? :/
I did try in my current home and my previous one, with the same results. Again I cannot believe such a thing will cause such a specific glitch in my display.
I guess I can do one more test, in a different tower with a different PSU..
One thing that keeps bothering me, could it be that - something - in my tower is damaging all my bvisions? For example that little wired PCB you plug in that Bvision 'hole', which comes with the Elbox tower and is used for the LED's? Did it short circuit the video memory of all my bvisions? :| There is 12v on it, after all..
I ask this because, I remember having had similar graphical artifacts way back that I solved by getting a new bvision. At that time I got 3 (one broken) of which 2 I am constantly using for testing. (with and without that little circuit board I mentioned)
Can someone tell me where the video memory is located on the Bvision? Is it near the hole in the middle?
edit: OMG, reading back this actually seems plausible..
This is the LED PCB Im talking about:

Also note that OFCOURSE I did protect the bvision against shorting by wrapping the PCB in ducttape, but you know, over time I guess the pins of the PCB will go right through it..
btw delshay, I see now that you already pointed out a possible short circuit resulting in graphics output looking like this.
