Hmm, sounds to me like you have some hardware problems. I presume you'd

in the closet for several years and some capacitors on a video card had
leaked their contents into the AGP slot. Kind of explained why the AGP
slot didn't work anymore!
If you boot a live Linux CD like Sidux, does it still have the problems?

I just yanked the sound card and went back to
on-board sound. I have a
feeling that the system is going to be stable from here on out. It
happened just that way once before.
The only question, then, is is it a hardware or driver issue? I really
don't care anymore.
I take it all back. I was playing Leo Laporte's BitGravity stream when X
suddenly crashed and restarted itself, and the mouse pointer was gone
when I logged back in. So I had to restart the computer.
Still, at least that's a new behavior.
Also, Youtube videos are now acting weird. Either the video works, or
the audio works, but not both at the same time.
I'm about ready to take this entire machine out back and have at it with
my sledgehammer.
