You sure? Isn't it the "oh shit" button. Every computer should have one.

The startup switch I'm thinking of (which I would call a "half moon"),
most likely is technically a Quarter Moon.

Yes, it could be the switch, but that does not happen often.
It could also be the battery, those fail more often than switches.
It could be something scrambled in flash memory. Try starting up into
the BIOS setup screen.
It could be the HD itself. Try booting from a CD.
It could be the OS stall
Make sure you have backed all your personal files up on an ext drive
of some kind before you go any further.

Unlikely. I'm not sure what you mean by "half moon" power switch, but
the front panel switch is simply a momentary contact switch that
signals the motherboard to power up/down. It's only function either
works or doesn't - it's not like it may be losing contact during boot.
A better first wild gues
Pretty likely.

Sometimes when I power-on my store-built Windows XP computer, the startup
stalls. I can press the half-moon power switch, and then the startup starts
to catch. This morning. it took a few tries. Might the power switch need to
be replaced?
Thanks,
