blue screen

[axus]

Can anyone help at dummy level please.
My lads has a Packard Bell PC running win98.
When he starts it up, he gets a "Packard Bell" screen followed by a "Win98" screen then just a Blue Screen.
He has to press the reset button several times before it finally starts OK though appears to be taking longer each time.
Help will be appreciated please

Try a bit of general housekeeping to start with ...

Check your system for malicious code using an up to date Anti Virus program.

Check your system for spyware and adware using a checker such as Spybot.

Remove unwanted files and applications by running Disk Cleanup.

Check your Hard Disk for errors using Check Disk.

Defrag your Hard Drive.

Download and install the latest drivers for your system video and sound cards.
