9600XT card: 27 seconds to wait until first screen at boot
Hi all,
I am a bit curious about the time needed to see the first screen at cold boot (after a power-off at the back of PC ). I would appreciate any information about whether any of you have the same problem or not. I have a Sapphire 9600XT on a Gigabyte 8IK1100 (i865 chip), which will only show the first screen at boot after about 27 seconds. Using it in an Asus P4P800 DLX will be almost the same. The only one way to see the POST screen at boot is to reboot by Ctrl + Alt + Del (warm boot). I took out the card, look at the only jumper at the top-left corner, which is for TV. The jumper is set at 2-3 pins, for PAL. I changed it to 1-2 pin for NTSC; though I do not ever use TV with this card. Then, at boot, the time to wait reduces to about 17 seconds. Still there is no way to see screen as fast as other video cards I have. Not that is very terrible thing; but it will be very annoying when I need to test some change made with adding other components or hard disks, etc. TIA Max |
