Question Getting intermittent b1 code on Asus motherboard after installing used GPU

[sizzlinkola]

Had a friend gift me their Nvidia RTX 3060Ti 8GB. About 25% of the time when I power on the computer from shutdown, the mobo reads "b1" and get stuck on the Asus logo for 1-2 minutes. Then, it gets to the login screen and works fine.

Most of the time it boots quickly in less than a minute with no issues since I have a SSD, just like I did with my old Nvidia GPU. But I'm concerned that I'm getting this b1 code 25% of the time.

Any ideas?
