It finally reached the point where it was going haywire upon reaching the desktop, before even doing anything else (!).

I guess the fan was the problem. I ordered a nice (for the price) $20 heatsink and fan (with vRAM heatsinks as well), got it installed on my old card, and everything works perfectly again.

Thanks everyone.

I once bought a 9800 for my brother and it did that out of the box. I returned it and never bought an ATI card again.

Did you return the 9800 or your brother?

I think his brother was still under warranty at the time.
