Did you swap motherboards? I'd definately wipe that hard drive clean and do a fresh XP install rather than messing with that old existing Win XP intallation.

What is your power supply? It may be just not powerfull for you card.

Try to enable overclocking and underclock (not over) you video card. Does it help? If it does, it is either defective card, or, most probably you do need better power supply

Did you try underclocking?

The best thing you could do is a reinstall of your OS. Sounds like it is definatly a driver problem.

If reinstalling is not an option, you could try removing all hardware from withing Control Panel->Add Remove Hardware, then reboot and let Windows find all the necessary drivers.

Also, have you tried reinstalling DirectX 9.0c? This may help as well. Try removing your video card drivers with detonator destroyer, then reinstall them, then install DirectX.

Also, have you installed all your motherboard drivers? Specifically your AGP drivers?

80C does sound high. My overclocked 6800GT can work only around 70C or below, overclocking higher leads to the problems, very similar as you have described. This is why I suggested underclocking to test the it.

One thing you might try is removing the sound driver and reinstalling the latest updates for that particular sound chip.....goodluck
