Default PC shuts down on start

A neighbor has a Gateway Celeron based system running WIN98. This box is
about four years old.
When he turns it on it will sometimes shut down before the desk top appears.
Repeated attempts to start it may meet with success. He just sent me a note
that this morning it took 6 tries before it finally came up running.

Any suggestions. Power supply is suspect, of course, but what else might be
telling it to shut down?

Charlie
