Why does video hang on startup?

[randyannie]

Hey to all. I recently installed an ATI Radeon 9200 4x AGP video card in my PC. Everything works great with card - graphics are beautiful. I am having one problem though. When I restart, or even power down my computer upon startup, the video seems to be hanging.

The only fix so far (and not a very good one) is to press my restart button on the front panel of my tower - 4 times. I think I've press it more at times, but for now 4 times seems to be the magic number.

Then I will hear the little click and the beep that indicate to me that the PC is starting properly, and sure enough it does. Maybe it's a simple fix I'm overlooking.

Any ideas what might cause this?

Thanks, Randy

That doesn't sound real flash. The first thing I would check is that the card is sitting properly in its slot. I would also check the website for any driver updates and any mention of conflicts in their support or FAQ area.

Apart from that, I'm at a loss.
