I purchased an HP Pavilion 8175 about 2 years ago and have recently
replaced the motherboard with an AOpen AX6Bc with a Celeron 400 CPU.  I
was attempting to get rid of a behavior I thought was due to the
motherboard, but I am now having doubts.  I get a video signal only
EVERY OTHER time I turn it on.  To clarify:  I turn it on, the HD starts
to boot up, check my CD-Drives for a bootable disks, etc, but my monitor
never gets a signal.  I hold the switch in for several seconds,
everything goes off.  I immediately turn it back on and it boots up with
no problem.  I thought also that it might be video related, but I
replaced my (primary) video card when I replaced the MB/CPU.  The only
components present in both instances are the SCSI card, modem, and STB
Voodoo 2 board.  Is it my switch?  Can it be replaced, or should I get
another case?  Any help/comments greatly appreciated...
