Modem only comes out of standby after a re-boot. AKW?

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.

Is there a good MoBo sub for this system or should i stick with K7AMA?

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