Screen tearing issues even with Vsync

I built a computer recently and I've been having a screen tearing problem with it. It happens even with global Vsync enabled and has a lot of weird quirks (if a game supports Vsync, that usually fixes it). The tearing also seems to be getting worse over time, at first it was only when I scrolled in browsers but now it's been happening when I switch from one program to another, in flash video, in video players...

At first I thought it might be a problem with my video card, but I tested two different older ones and still had screen tearing problems. I've also tried a different monitor and different cable, uninstalling/cleaning/reinstalling the drivers, and nothing seems to make a difference (except turning on smooth scrolling in web browsers, but that only helps with one aspect). Is it likely a hardware problem, with the motherboard maybe? Any other ways to force vertical sync that I could try?


specs are:
GIGABYTE GA-P67A-UD3-B3
Intel i5-2500k
2 x 4GB Corsair XMS DDR3 1333 RAM
MSI GTX 560 Ti
Corsair HX 650W
Crucial C300 64GB Boot Drive
Samsung Spinpoint F3 1TB
HP 24X Multiformat DVD Writer
HAF 922
W7 64-bit Professional
 
It seems like the only common denominator here is windows/mobo/cpu. Check the event viewer in control panel for odd errors. Check for motherboard updates and flash the bios if you get desperate.

Maybe run a check disk (chkdsk c: /r or chkdsk c: /f) in your command prompt then restart and watch for errors. Don't forget to run your system through burn-in checks like memtest to check the ram and something to check the cpu for errors.
