Here's another thing I tried which also may have made a difference.  Gonna
sound weird, but worth a try.  I had a 675VA UPS that my system was plugged
into.  One time, it started shrieking (weird beepish sounds) as I was doing
heavy gaming with lots of visual effects going on.  I looked it up, and it
seems that if your UPS, or your power strip, can't deliver enough power, it can
cause the issues with these GPU cards.  I mentioned Dec 10th as the date I made
the change for my boot parameters, but it's also the date I plugged my system
directly into the wall.  Responding yesterday reminded me I have a new, more
powerful UPS and I plugged my system into that today.  I'll see if it changes
anything.

P.S.  I know the argument...power is power...but it's not.  If the surge
protector, or UPS has cheap, thin wiring, then that restricts the amount of
amps that can flow though them.
