I spoke to the guy and fe said he'll replace it. I am a bit surprised that he is willing to do that, after all a week has passed since I got it...
Anyway, I tried ti install my old Intel 740 card and... the werid thing is that I had very similar problems. So... I cleaned my motherboard reaaaly good to get rid of any dust, I cleaned the card's pins as well, reseted BIOS and I scanned my system for viruses. I had one worm that was active, so I decided to reinstall the whole system to be sure everything is gone.
And... I have no idea why but everything is fine now.
There is no ligic in that for me. The card had problems even before it started loading any operating system, moreover I had the same problems at my friend's PC.
Once again logic has failed me when it comes to PCs.
