Can you boot to safe mode and no errors...
If you can?

Boot to Command Prompt Only and Run the setup......if you dump the Win98 Installer to The Drive C: if not..Boot your computer With CDROM support using the Startup disk... and run setup...Pinoy_Teknik

this issue is related to power management on your system. boot into your system and go into your bios. shut off power management and any of its features in the bios and you should be ok. in the long run in order to properly fix this issue i would recomend doing some research on your system and its bios to know what it really can and cant do. some say that they can properly handle this feature but that isnt the case.

I asume that other than this annoyance, your PC works normally.

You need to check the power management settings in both BIOS settings, and Control Panel.
Do not disable power management in BIOS settings, or your PC may not shut down.
You can disable monitor shutdown.
Check the time set in each area, you can either extend the time before the monitor shuts down, or disable the shutdown feature.

In addition if this changes don't have efect you can try to set other type of monitor in display properties.

I agree with the Power management option in Controll Panel, if that doesn't work check that no one's played tricks with the screen saver options - Have you installed any screensavers lately? Try setting a windows Screen saver with time being 15 minutes and see what happens?
Good luck

Under the display properties, "right Click anywhere on the desktop , under the screensaver tab on the bottom, click on the Power Tab, under the power shemes... adjust the seting accordingly.

Pls. Check your Display Setting.Click on My Computer->control Pannel->Display ->screen Saver tab. You will find Energy Saving option. Click on Setting. In Power Saving scheme Say Always On. In Turn on Monitor Select Never. In turn on Hard Disk also you can set never option.In this option you can set option to shutdown hard disk if you are not using system for long time ie. 15 minute or more

Hope this will work.

With Regards
