Computer seems to need to warm up before booting

[Arpet]

Hello.
I recently moved halfway across the planet, and sent my components by mail, and rebuilt my system here.
It's working allright, but when i cold start my computer in the morning, it always freezes on the splash screen. The keyboard and mouse lights up, but I cannot press "delete" or "F2" to enter UEFI or "f8" to enter boot options.. as if it's all frozen... If i try to reset immediately, it will just boot to the same state, but if I wait a couple minutes, then reset it boots up normally. Another thing is that one of the fans connected to my Corsair 100i is always spinninhg at over 1700 rpm, with no way of lowering it. I've tried reseating the cpu-block, ofcourse applying fresh thermal compound, removing all usb devices, even the usb header for the H100i and also disconnected the mass storage disk, but nothing seems to work. Can someone help me out with this?

may be psu problem usually psu is the one that causes startup problems like urs and mine by pc also needed to be left power on a bit to start it properly and its my psu problem must be urs also

If it is hanging during post, then it could be because it is having trouble detecting the attached disk drives through the disk controller. What I would do is disconnect all other drives apart from your OS drive, and see if it will boot quicker. Also try swapping the SATA cables and try different SATA ports, and also SATA power cables from the PSU.

If it does boot, then you need to look at which drive is to blame. If it doesn't you might need to replace your OS hard drive. You could try resetting your BIOS to factory settings or optimal settings also. Motherboard could also be faulty.

It's hanging at the splash screen. It's not even getting to post. I have tried running only the OS ssd, and that does not help. Iv'e tried the swapping of cables and ports, and that didn't work.
It does boot if i leave it on in the splash screen for a few minutes, then press the reset button, but that's not enough of a solution on a high end computer... or atleast one that used to be, about a year ago.

If it won;t even get past the splash screen, then you might need to reset the BIOS settings by finding the Jumper on the motherboard, removing it and replacing it again. Check your motherboard manual or check online for your mobo model to find out where this is.

If you cannot find the BIOS reset jumper, you can remove the CMOS battery for a few minutes then replace it again.

See here for further details.

If you still have problems with posting, then you might have to test if your motherboard has not been damaged in transit.

I already tried resetting the bios using the jumpers, my MB also has a reset cmos button in the UI which i tried to use, which didn't work... When i opened the box i sent the motherboard in, the cmos battery was loose so i removed it and reattached it after a few minutes, so it should be reset, so that can't be it. I just hope my motherboard is not damaged, because I moved to a third world country, and it's not too easy to find high end components here.

Some info about my system

I don't know Arpet, Because it is hanging at the splash screen would suggest to me that there could be a faulty BIOS or CMOS chip. Maybe change the CMOS battery completely, but this could also be due to the system not being able to detect a faulty component correctly too.

I would strip the whole system down to the bare bones, including your RAM modules and see if it posts normally with one module or goes into BIOS at least normally, then add each remaining component individually and test at each stage.

I have also tried tearing the whole system down, and reinstalled everything, being alot more cautious than normal when connecting everything. I usually just slap everything together and stuff the cables wherever they fit and it's always worked fine, for 15 years and building maybe 10 or 12 computers... and modifying them uncountable times, if I have had a problem, mkost of the time it has been enough to reinstall the cpu and making sure the 8 pin cpu cable is connected properly ( that used to be a common problem for me when motherboards started to come with the 4-pin thingy for the cpu...)

But this time i have not been successful.. looks like something is damaged and i will have to order new parts from the US or Europe.. I am in South America now, so i guess shipping from the US is cheaper...

Looks like i have to try that, yet again. I'll let you know if it works.. but now I am going out for a while, so probably later today I'll try doing that.

I guess its not a simple as borrowing a friends similar motherboard to test either! If you are drawing a blank with all of the components and still not getting any further, then you will have to assume that the motherboard is at fault. But make sure you check those RAM modules and all the RAM slots first. I take it you've ran memtest86 on the RAM modules?
