I have formatted my drive a few times. I have got into the habit of doing it ever 6-8 months. It is a pain reinstalling the software. I can honestly say that I have not run into the issue that you are alluding to.

If IE is doing it too then it can't really be blamed on Firefox. I would suggest that maybe you start over with another clean format.

Out of curiosity, where did you put your data files (this image for instance) while you formatted the drive.

Have you got the latest GFX drivers?

What exactly is the problem? The image looks fine to my eyes...that the problem occurs with both FireFox and IE tells me it's a generic issue...

Looks like your hard drive is going bad.
Do this, copy a bunch of images to the laptop and then copy them back to teh external and see if they get corrupted.

I had a bad drive that corrupted images in teh same manner that the OP posted. Here are a couple of images, (not as bad looking as the OP's pic though)
