set bios to defualts

rename autoexec and config.sys

boot into safe mode and use regedit to delete your hkey_localmachine/enum key

Win95 can't handle HD partitions greater than 2Gig. Blue screens indicate memory overruns by Windows and 95 was famous for this. Try running setup off a boot up diskette or boot right off the cdrom. Running setup from inside Win95 will overload the system. Win98 should have no problems with your devices.
