Hi. The problem is that the video signal is delayed by more than 2 seconds at start (with weaker cards), and the Win turn off the driver (2 sec Win default). This registry setting (thanks to easyhomewin) increases this delay to 12 seconds. I have no idea how the MAC default, and i have no clue how to increase. Maybe you should ask some MAC forums.

Explanation of the PC reg key:

TdrDelay

Specifies the number of seconds that the GPU can delay the 
preempt request from the GPU scheduler. This is effectively 
the timeout threshold. The default value is 2 seconds. 

KeyPath   : HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\GraphicsDrivers
KeyValue  : TdrDelay
ValueType : REG_DWORD
ValueData : Number of seconds to delay. 2 seconds is the default value.
