Try both 16 as 32 (actually 24)-bit Z-buffer.
Next to that, I can't think of anything. It's quite odd.

Looks like a good ole' graphics card bug. Check your drivers, Or if you can't be bothered to do that, buy a new Pc.

Yeah sounds like you've got a really crappy... uh hardware there. Probably got bugged. You should take it back, but they'll probably not do anything about it.

Hey, if you pay shipping I'd give you $50 for it though.

Indeed. That processor is craptastic. You are lucky to have so many people who are willing to trade it for money. If i had a pc that bad, I'd probeblty have to pay someone else to have it. :P
