Anyone Know Why?I turn my PC off every night. I live in a windy area
with a lot of dead trees hanging over the power lines.

MoBo K7AMA AMD Duron.
Monitor is 5 yrs old 14" Samsung.


A brown out took out the power supply in Jan.
Replaced it with a 300w 24 pin supply w/ a 20-pin adapter.
The slot for the SVGA card died around that time. (Card is ok but is
NFG in this machine, causes 8 beep tones at boot up & no pic)
I pulled a video card from a P1 win98 machine, which uses a normal
slot. That works, but.....


Now when I boot up the system, the monitor stays in standby mode. There

is no restart function anymore, so I have no recourse but to power down

at the surge protector power strip. I do this before Windows can load.
I wait a few secs then turn the system on and then the monitor wakes up

and i can load Windows XP. Switching slots on the board to change IRQ
did nothing.

Just go for one with the same or same-brand chipset to avoid difficulties
with booting windows after the change.
