I did as DarkGamer007 suggested and hunted around and managed to dig up a Geforce 7600GT. I'd forgotten how ridiculously big my 9800GTX is. Anyway, I managed to get my PC to boot normally with the 9800GTX and then picked Oblivion (because I knew the 7600GT could handle it) and booted it up. Played a few minutes before my PC crashed again. Then I switched out the 9800 for the 7600 and did tried Oblivion again. Played maybe 30-45 minutes, no crash. So yeah, I'm pretty certain it's my video card now.

I did some quick checking on Newegg and it seems like the Geforce 460GTX is the best deal on video cards under $200. Is that about right? Any other suggestions on that front?

Edit: Holy ****, and here I was thinking DJ8WORK was being a dick. The problem with doing that with the 9800 is the huge plastic cover over it. I'd have to figure out how to pry that off. Maybe I'll do that.
