You have a possible HD problem ... check it out using a program from your HD manufacturer.

;)
 
I think your main problem is probably using an operating system that is almost 10 years old!
 
How old is the Hard Drive?
Have you had problems with it before?
Everything OK when you Format & FDisk the HDD?

I done a clean install of Win 98 a couple of months ago and it's working fine. Solely to play old games.

Got all the updates from the MS site as well, although I believe they're withdrawing support for it soon.

I'd agree with Mucks, possible hard disk problem, likely nothing to do with the graphics card.

I'd suggest formatting the disk with FAT 32 prior to installation, using the Win 98 boot disk.
