For any W98 shutdown issues, the first thing to do is update the drivers for both the motherboard, and the video card.

Next, there is a good trouble-shooting guide posted at www.aumha.org

Memory leaks can cause this problem. You can verify that by using system resource memter, and seeing if free memory drops very low just before you have a problem.

IMHO, the best cure for memory leaks is to back up your files, format the hard drive, and re-install Windows.
If Windows has been on thisPC for over 2 years, then registry bloat is the likely cause, and a re-install is in order.

I just encountered that same problem on someone else's machine. They had the OE 0028 error and we updated the video driver and it has since gone. But i did a search on google.com with "Fatal exception error OE 0028" which seem to get the right hits.
So if you update the drivers and that doesn't do it. Then search through google and follow answer #1. Chances are it's the video driver but you never know until you try.
Good luck.
