GA-EP45-UD3LR Start Up

[smiffyrebel]

Hello
I've just installed a GA-EP45-UD3LR Motherboard. I have built many PC's over the years butIonly consider myself an hobbyisy rather than an engineer. Anyway when i start the pc this happens with no hardware installed or all the hardware installed, I have 4Gb of memory installed and the cpu is a pentium quad core, the cpuloading LED's light upand the cpu fan starts up after about 5 seconds and then after about another 5 seconds the cpu loading lights go out and the system boots into the post screen. Is this normal as in my experience the cpu fan normally boots straight away. Be grateful for any replies as I have never had this happen.
Thanks

hi,
My fan does not spin up  untill it enters the post routine,
I believe that is quite normal now,
