Computer lockup while a rest....

I have an custom built fic va503+ with an amd k2-300 and win 98 with all recent patches. recently my system will lock up sometime after my monitor has already gone to shutdown mode. Must reboot to fix. I have no background programs running except the task scheduler and use win98 provided screensavers. This problem is ittermittent and doesn't seem to involve the task scheduler...I have a matrox millenium g200 graphics card and nec xe-17 monitor and I have most of the power management turned off in my bios...I am thinking a bios conflict with win98 power mgmt. but started just recently and patches a possibility..
Any help would be greatly appreciated....

PS Start with the motherboard setup and the CPU, then we'll move onto the others.
