HDMI INPUT / Resolution

I hope I got the right sub (never use the search function -_-)

My PC is all self built, but it's not a killer. I.E. Dual core performance rated at 5.4GHZ processor (amd); 3 GBs of DDR2 800 mhz ram; Mother board (gigabyte) Model: M61PME-S2P

OS: windows 7 ultimate

I recently bough a new video card (MSI Radeon HD5450 Pcie 1GB DDR3 HDmi Dvi VGA). I like the HDMI input because of I can output my audio via my TV through speakers for my PC and whispers xbox 360 console.

The only game I play is CS 1.6. so I am don't need much more.

Everything works, I reformatted my drive and did fresh install of windows. There no real issue (clean diver install) that I am aware of but I noticed it lags detecting the HMDI input, and resolution changes at specific point during boot process. (typically 1280x720 DI to 13**x768 AN) then back to original digital resolution. I believe I remember it doing similar with my DVI based card (previous) but without input delay. I clean my PC regularly of dust, wires are tied down, temperature is pretty normal. Power is good. Burner works.

and by delay I mean. 15 to 30 seconds before you get the input display and runs start up procedure (no issues, or warnings. I am use to it kicking in within 2 seconds. I am hoping it native to the video card itself.

I guess my question:

1) Is this a common thing with using hmdi on a PC video card. Is there possibly conflict with my on board audio? It boots to windows every time.

2) is the resolution change normal? I am guessing windows has a standard analog configuration so start up screens might not configure for digital display, so it resorts to switch to analog at those points (though my understanding there are specific resolutions for DI - So I am not sure how it doing the x768)....but I find it a bit odd that boot screen is fine with digital. Using a VGA cable the delay is gone too. If there was a problem with the card I suspect it would happen to both...I am no expert though.

I feel like I am being overtly cautious, but all my knowledge is on self taught basis, so there maybe a few things I am not aware of simply because I never experienced it. One thing was the DDR3 of the video card but couldn't find anything on the internet saying it's bad, I just go by PCIe x16 spec. Nothing in my MB manual saying anything, neither the individual at the store said anything.
