Have recently been having problems with my Windows 98 to the point where I totally rebuilt it. The problem I'm having now....can be in the middle of working (doesn't matter what as it appears to be totally random), the video will just shut down and I get a amber light on the monitor. Can't press the reset button or try holding in the power button for 10 seconds - doesn't work. Have to totally unplug the machine for a few minutes, then powers back up as normal and I'm back in business again - for a little while. Have checked display settings for anything strange - nothing. Any suggestions/help would be greatly appreciated.

As an aside, have had the machine about 2 years with no problems at all, nothing on the machine changed (just upgraded memory about 8 months ago).
