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.
