  You have to supply all the sorce to enable the real debugging,
neverless I may try to make an uneducated guess:

1. The "C-like" usage of the keyword "static" in C++ -
static element of the class is common element (allocated only once)
for all instanses (objects) of the class, static member functions
change their values. You may have used the static element without any
need.
2. The compiling options are very important, when compiling templates -
check em, or place all the template's body in the header file(s).
3. Check the allocation (new) in the constractor - some
errors there cath up only from the repeted usage.
4. May be in the compiler, you use, repeted declaration Matrix<float>,
Matrix<float> creates two equel classes - the bug. Try :
typedef Matrix<float> FMatrix;
> FMatrix myMatrix(3, 3);
>
> .....  Do some stuff here .....
>
> FMatrix mySecondMatrix(3, 3);
