A while back i made a post about my Pentium III gaming rig mentioning how i had issues with the video card not performing as nicely as expected. Well someone suggested it was because the VIA chipset drivers were incorrectly installed. One Windows 98 reinstall later and after correctly installing the VIA chipset drivers specifically the IDE DMA drivers lo and behold my games work correctly great. But there's another issue i ran into that this didn't fix. Pretty much every time i go to turn the machine on it usually freezes the first time and i have to reboot like twice before it boots properly. And I'm not alone in these either LGR did a video on this card a while ago and had this same issue in his Packard Bell although i don't think he ever got it to boot at least mine boots. Is there any fix for this? it's not really an issue but it is VERY annoying especially since I do like to show this thing off sometimes and it sort of ruins the effect when I'm rebooting it like 2 or 3 times.
quick edit: I forgot to add that I didn't have this issue before I upgraded to a Savage 4 card so I'm nearly certain that's the issue
