I had a similar problem one time, and the problem was provoked by the tower that wasn't straigth, what it made that, when I pressed the cards with the screws to motherboard the last pins of the cards were to make bad contact and sometimes they still make bad contact.
hope this helps ( sorry for my English 8) )
Update:
Mom got this one twice today:

Having looked through this thread, I think it is highly likely you have a hardware problem. GPF faults are usually caused by faulty memory (RAM), and sometimes by motherboard/power supply problems.
It is highly unlikely that it is a problem with Windows98 or the CPU itself.
Don't know the specifics of your box, but the sorts of things you normally try in this sort of situation are removing one of the memory sticks (SIMM, DIMM, whatever), and see if the problem persists.
If you have any cards (PCI or ISA) inserted into the motherboard, you can try removing them and cleaning the edge connectors, and then re-inserting them.
