you can try some driver updates, but mostly this is what you seee at the end of a videocards lifetime.

I think the GPU is just borked. I don't think it's drivers; I think the video card is just broken. Why is it happening on certain programs? It probably either happens when certain functions are being called for the GPU, or when the GPU is sufficiently utilized that the bad hardware shows up. AERO isn't enough to cause problems from the sound of it... yet, but your browser probably makes generous use of hardware accelerated flash as is the norm, and obviously 3DS Max puts at least some minimal strain on the GPU.
I would go dig through the bargain basement market and seek a replacement, unless you're thinking this is a good excuse for a brand new replacement. The latter isn't a bad idea either, budgets provided, because that 8350 can handle being paired with a lot more GPU than a 560 TI, but if the money/will just isn't there, you can get something equivalent to what you have scavenging Ebay/Amazon for probably around $70-$80.
Now, I certainly do recommend wiping off drivers and reinstalling, and checking temps if you're not chomping at the bit to use this as an upgrade opportunity. If you really wanted to get desperate, you could even

If it was the GPU then the screen display should be borked at least in my case it always was the entire screen.
The task bar and address bar, scroll bar are all unaffected.
And why is chrome unaffected at all.
I personally would try all other aspects. Reinstall try the gpu in another machine etc etc

Changing the card, drivers, et al, never fixed it; Not until it's SSD died, and I had to reinstall everything, did the problem stop.

That there definitely matters it would point more to the card.
