My home computer -- 800 MHz Athlon, W98 SE, just out of warranty -- recently started occasionally changing the background to magenta, displaying text that's almost unreadable, and display groups of bars randomly on the screen. Any likely cause?

Have you tried changing the video card or updating the driver? That would be the first thing I'd attempt. Typically weird display problems are related to the adapter. When the video goes weird on you, does it require a reboot to clear it?
