When you get a blue screen, it will do a physical memory dump. Look at the screen, it will usually tell you what module cracked. thats your first hint. Also, see if you can recreate the blue screens via a set of patterned actions. If so, then trace what each action does and you will be a step closer to what is causing the fallout. On 98, its often corrupt system DLL's that can be copied from a dos bootup.

Enjoy.
