Right now we don't know if you have flaky hardware (RAM? motherboard? CPU overheat due to failed fan?) or your MS-Windows is just having one of its random failures. Win-98 is pretty old.

The best hardware test I've got is to boot and run some other operating system from a known good CD. If your system has at least 96 MB of RAM, get a friend with a working system to download and burn you a Knoppix CD. If it boots all the way up, you do not have a RAM-motherboard-CPU problem. (It'll find your Ethernet and get on line automatically. Try the browser.) If you have a worn out or dirty CD drive or a motherboard issue, you won't get all the way to that desktop. This test will spot flaky RAMs that pass every "RAM test" you can find. Unfortunately it's not very good about reporting the failures; it's just go or no-go.

According to linuxprinting.org your PIXMA iP1000 "works perfectly" with Linux drivers from Canon. So if you wanted to go to the trouble you could test the printer too.
