It sounds like your power supply may be in need of replacing, 8 years is reliable for the life of power supplies. Power supplies are inexpensive, so it won't break the bank :)
If you can open your case then look for excessive dust buildup in the power supply openings, around the cpu, etc. Get some canned air and blow it out if it has built up.

I have a 686MX P200 Cyrix, pipeline 512k cache, 32m SDram, 2.1GB HDD. WIN95 Its 7-8 years old. System wont boot up to Windows at all and using the original boot disk and CDROM doesnt help. Sometimes stalls at the first "windows" cloud screen, sometimes it goes to the C:\ prompt. sometimes get emm386 error. When using dos, to copy files to floppy it stalls anywhere from the first key stroke to halfway through copying a whole directory. Seems to have a pattern that the longer I leave it sit "off" before rebooting the longer it will go till it stalls again. quick reboot=quick stall. Ive put old edo ram back in(2x8mb) no change. Ive put new memory battery in, no change. Tried reinstall win95, same probs with random stalling before it gets very far.
