  I'll try unplugging and re-plugging the video card...

Well, it's been a week now and no more video problems.  Looks like pulling
the video card, vacuuming out the slot, wiping down the connectors on the
card, and putting it back in was all that was necessary to fix the problem.
I guess a little dust somehow got in there and caused a bad connection.
Hard to believe that's all it took to fix it.  Anyway, in future if I have
any problems along this line and doing that doesn't fix it, I know what to
expect a technician to check (power supply, CMOS battery, connections all
around, etc.), so I did learn a great deal from this thread for down the
line.  Thanks to all who provided input on this problem.
