My friend was having problems with his computer constantly freezing. It would start up and a few seconds later would freeze. I could access a few things, but generally once I moved the mouse so much, it would freeze. This problem didn't happen in safe mode.

I formatted his harddrive for him and attempted to reinstall Win98SE. However I am still receiving similar lock-ups during installation. Everything would be going fine in installation, but if I move the mouse, it freezes. I continued to install without moving the mouse at all to see if the problem would go away, but it didn't. I tried formatting and installing again, but it continues freezing. Any ideas on why this is happening and how to stop it?
