Windows first answer to shutdown problems is to DISABLE fast shutdown.
One of the problems is that many motherboards shut off power before Windows has finished cleaning house.
They can also shut things down before the hard drive cache is cleared.
The first step of any shutdown problem, is to update your video drivers.
Start with the AGP mini-port driver for the chipset.
Then, Direct X
Then the video card driver.

Still having problems?
There is a very good shutdown trouble-shooting guide posted at www.aumha.org

The CMI 8330 driver for W98 is just under 4MB.
The link is:
