BSoD on W98 shutdown

I have to diagnose a problem this evening, and want to be in and out as quickly as possible, so could some kind soul make some suggestions as the the quickest way of diagnosing?

PC is a standard middle aged Pentium (let's guess 450MHz), runing W98, HP printer, Agfa Scanner, flat screen, ADSL (via frog). Runs NAV, ZA, possibly SpyBot. Used for IE, OE, Word, Access and Excel. No games.

The symptom is that it works absolutely fine until it shuts down, when it produces a blue screen of death. (I have tried the "so what?" approach, but that doesn't wash!)

Any suggestions?

TIA
