I have 6pc's here all the same. P3 1Ghz, 128mb ram, onboard everything, no addon cards. I've cleaned ram, reset bios, fdisk, format HDD, but still all of them after a clean install of win98 they get to the part where it finalise the settings in windows, the cursor is present, no icons loaded yet, updating shortcuts etc. Then it reboots. Windows hasn't yet been fully installed.
You can access safe mode, no reboots.

People don't be stupid, The harddrive has been repartitioned and full formatted. There is nothing on exept win98 that I'm trying to install, but the pc keeps restarting. And no it doesn't overheat.

try msconfig to do what?
fdisk/mbr doesn't resolve this

There is only 1 solution, tell your cutomers to buy new pc's and that their old ones are stuffed.

Boot up from your windows 98 boot diskette.
type FDISK /MBR
reboot
NOW install your OS.
My guess of course being that there is a virus hiding in the master boot record which will, even after repartitioning and reformatting, still be there.
The other possibility is that your win98 boot disk might be infeted.
Put it in a clean system with a good antivirus program and scan it.

You may have a virus. Are they new? If so, then you should get someone to help. Sorry.
