This does not happen every time, but I would like to correct, if
possible.

Within a few minutes of PC startup the screen will go blank. No keys
will correct this so I press the RESTART button. 98SE reloads, with
no problems, and the problem doesn't reoccur.

Any ideas as to what might be causing this?

Thanks for any info.

Right-click on a blank area of the Desktop and choose Properties
Choose the "Screen Saver" tab

You will see two Settings buttons. In the panel titled
"Energy saving features of monitor", click the Settings button.

Set the "Turn off monitor" scroll-box setting to "Never"

Click OK, twice
