Motherboard Problem
Ok, here's the deal. I will try to describe my problem as thoroughly as possible. I have recently bought 3x ASUS M2N-SLI Deluxe Motherboards. They work great. I do have one small problem that I have encountered though. My case has a rear 120mm fan. When I plug this fan into the MB into any of the recommended Chassis Fan slots it will not run when the computer is in operation. I have found though, that if I unplug the fan and plug it back in while the computer is running it will begin to spin and continue to do so until the PC is turned off. I have searched the BIOS but to no avail. If anyone could help is would be greatly appreciated.
Thanks in advance,

3.3v -> 3.33v
5v -> 5.10v
12v -> 12.24v
Vcore -> 1.36v
120MM fans are fairly power-hungry, particularly when you consider the 3-pin connectors on a motherboard which are usually starved for power. I'm suspecting that the circuits designated to these connectors aren't receiving enough power at boot (When there's a large spike in power required elsewhere on a mobo), but is providing enough voltage once the flow is nice and regular.
It's the difference between a human having 120 gallons of water dumped on him in two seconds, and drizzled on him gently over the course of an hour. Same amount of water (voltage), but obviously one is easier to take.
