Windows 98 freezes up during boot

Frequently but not always, when I start up my computer, windows will run normally to the "Windows 98" logo page, then freezes up. I have to shut down the computer and re-boot. Sometimes it will come up OK, but lately it is getting much more difficult to get it to boot into anything but the "Safe Mode". How can I prevent this?
