I would get a similar issue with video monitors that automatically scan
each input for a signal.  When the PC goes to sleep, or blanks the
screen, the monitor would scan through the inputs looking for a signal.
Sometimes they'd stop scanning after a few iterations, waiting on some
random input.  Trying to see a boot screen was impossible, as you'd
have this race between trying to find a signal, and the monitor putting
itself to sleep if there was nothing, and the PC's graphic card
behaving oddly if it didn't detect it was being monitored.  I had to
turn off scanning in the monitor.  Unfortunately, some monitors didn't
have that option.
