Motherboard P5G41-M LE/CSM

Processor : Intel Celeron D processor , socket 775

Ram memory : PC2-6400 2x1GB sticks

Recently changed my motherboard and used following ram and processor .

system is booting okay, windows is running fine only problem i am having is when i starts up my system its taking a long time to reach to Asus P5G41-M screen. only thing i notice is fan running slow and i dont see any display in the beginning but after 30 seconds -1 min , fan run really fast and then i can see the display on screen and after that everything runs fine.

i have tried it during bench test too so i dont think its because of hard disk or usb controller. during bench test i have connected only power supply ram, motherboard and processor and it was showing same problem at that time.

CPU temp was 34 deg C in bios , so i guess thermal paste and heat sink are working okay i checked memories and motherboard controller and all came passed.

just wanna mention .. motherbaord, cmos battery , memory all are brand new and i just opened the package


Please let me know if you need any more details.

Thanks,

Rather than an immediate replacement as suggested by and , try a few focused checks to isolate the cause. The delay before any display plus the fan ramp is usually a power/initialization or memory training issue, and a short set of tests will show whether the board, PSU, or something else is at fault.

  • Swap in a known-good power supply (or use a PSU tester). If the problem disappears, the PSU is the culprit — many PSUs produce a slow rail ramp or late PWR_OK that makes the board wait before POST.
  • Boot with the minimum: CPU, one stick of RAM, and video. Try each RAM stick in each slot. Memory training or a marginal module/slot often causes long POST times.
  • Clear CMOS (jumper or remove battery briefly) and boot with default BIOS settings. If you can get into BIOS, disable any slow-start/fan‑control features and turn off the full-screen logo so POST messages show.
  • Reseat and firmly reconnect both the 24-pin and the CPU 4/8-pin power connectors. Inspect for bent pins, standoffs touching the board, or visible damage to VRM components.
  • Try a different monitor and cable, and alternate between onboard and any discrete output. Some monitors/cables can delay the first visible image while the GPU/EDID handshake completes.
  • Only if the board otherwise behaves reliably, consider a BIOS update for compatibility fixes — follow the vendor procedure exactly and avoid flashing on an unstable power source.

If none of the above changes the behavior, it is reasonable to RMA the motherboard. When you contact support, list the exact diagnostics you ran and their results (PSU swap, single-stick tests, CMOS clear, etc.) — that speeds up their troubleshooting and increases the chance of a quick exchange.

It has to be a fault. I'd say get it replaced.
