Sounds like a power supply problem. If it rebooting even in the bios, try swapping the powersupply, they are cheap and will probably solve the problem. I have seen the same thing multiple times, the majority of the time is the power supply.

This could be any one of a number of problems. I might be inclined to try either a new power supply, or possibly a reinstall of Win98. If it's trying to get to the initial boot phase, you might also have a hard drive problem.

A HDD problem is most likely not going to cause a problem like that. It might be the power supply or even a loose connection. Try reseating everything in the machine and double check all the connections. The mainboard might even be shorting out on the case somewhere so check for contact with the case and mainboard.

Of course check the power supply but, before you check that try going into bios and disabling its power management. I have had several situations that I though was power supply problems that turned out to be power managem problems.
