So I recently upgraded the video card in my windows98 PC to a GeForce 6200, and ever since then every time I shut it down I get this weird error message:

Windows protection error. You need to restart your computer.

Press any key to continue.

My pc functions normally otherwise, I'm just wondering what is going on?

EDIT: If I press a key, it shuts down normally. If I leave it alone long enough, it shuts down normally. If i restart the computer, nothing much happens.

Windows 98 drivers for the 6xxx series geforce cards are kinda wonky. They were much more focused on their XP driver development by this stage. Windows 9x support was an afterthought.
