Computer Locks on Shut Down

I had to rebuild my laptop and installed Windows 98SE from the original disk.
Since rebuilding it, The computer locks up during the shut down phase about
50% of the time and I have to turn the laptop off manually. Then when I
restart, I have to go through the system scan since Windows did not shut down
properly

I can tell when its going to lock up, because the screen will flicker during
the shut down process and then it just freezes.

Any ideas?

Thanks
