I remember a magazine article where the test system had these type of symptoms and the fix was something to do with changing the memory aperture in the BIOS. Sorry I can't be more specific, but it may help.
I'd definately recommend a fresh install if possible. Windows is always better that way. 98SE must zing along on a P4 3G!
