Seeing "seams" Continued (New Graphics Card)

I upgraded to a new graphics card, an EVGA GeForce 8600GT and inserted it and upgraded to the newest drivers, I went to test the game and the "seams" are still there, my computer is clean and I don't think it's overheating as everything inside is nice and ventilated. What could be causing this? I noticed the seams and such after I moved to my new home (Near 6-7 months ago, give or take), but my PC was transported in a car and not bumping into things so I doubt anything was damaged.

I am running my background resolution at 1024x768 and everything looks a tiny bit blury where as on the GeForce 7300 LE is did not at this resolution. (Had to insert an adapter that came with the Graphics Card onto the monitor slot to hook up my Plug & Play monitor, would that have any affect on it?)

Just trying to pin-point where the problem lies as it's highly annoying to look at.

Yes, I meet the power requirement and the blurriness "appears" to have gone away once I hooked up the power thing to the graphics card (the power adapter that makes it get a better power supply quicker or w/e) either that or my eyes have just adjusted, either way I cannot notice any blurriness.

The "seams" issue existed with a previous graphics card as well, that's my major concern as it makes gaming annoying, as the "seams" (I use the term loosely as it is more than just seams, it ranges from textures not lining up properly, textures being to far apart, textures overlapping, etc)

Replacing my graphics card did not fix the problem, I'm using my computer with the side panel off to see if anything is overheating and checking to see if the fans are all spinning and so-far so good, so what else could be causing the problem?

These are some pictures of my issues with just one game, any help would be greatly appreciated.

I went back to my old graphics card since the new one was causing slight blurr even with adequate power supply and it did not fix my graphical issue, anything that would be causing these "seams"?

Not monitor related (tried different monitors/monitor wires)

Not Graphics card related (tried different graphics cards)

Not overheating (Machine is clean and all fans are running fine)

What could the problem be?

mmm May be a connector issue possibly. Are all the connectors for the monitor free of dust and debris?
What computer is it by the way?

I have checked all the wiring and it's all dust free, I am using a Dell XPS 400... These issues never used to be there and I can't figure out what would be causing the problem.

Could at a long shot be a virus, so i would update your anti-virus & anti-spyware protection, then run a full system scan. Might find something lurking around in your system.

My PC is Virus/Spyware free so I'm not thinking that is the problem.
