CPU fan off at startup.

For some strange reason the fan doesn't spin at startup and I need to mess with the controller a little bit to get it going. At first I thought it was a power issue but after I get it going it runs fine and I have no problems. Also about a week ago my bios gave me a "CPU Fan Failed" message even though it was spinning like a champ, so I just ignored it. Here's my setup:
500W Aspire PSU (Came with my case; 20 pin)
Asus A8N SLI
Athlon 64 3500+
BFG Geforce 6800GT Pci-e (Getting another soon)
2x512mb Kingston HyperX PC 3200
2x WD SATA 120gb
The heatsink is a Zalman CNPS7000B
I'm planning on getting a 24-pin psu (550W+) especially because I want to get another 6800GT. Any suggestions or similar stories will be greatly appreciated.
 
im not positive, but i think it takes a few seconds for the fan to come on after you hit the power button. if you are using a fan speed controller, it might be turned down too low so the board sends an error during post. i have had that error before and i cant remember what i was doing. it isnt a big deal though. so far ive been using the onboard q-fan and actually like it.
