At the beginning when computer starts.
 
Solution
H61M-CS
https://www.asus.com/in/Motherboards/H61MCS/specifications/
Looking at the Specifications page:
Supports CPU up to 77 W (watts)

The i5-2300 has a Thermal Design Power of 95 Watts.

The Thermal Design Power (TDP) is the average maximum power a processor can dissipate while running commercially available software. TDP is primarily used as a guideline for manufacturers of thermal solutions (heatsinks/fans, etc) which tells them how much heat their solution should dissipate.
