    Did you get a CD with your motherboard? If so, have you installed all the stuff off it?

    Theres usually some drivers for your sound chip on the motherboard, aswell as maybe some motherboard updates and stuff. Its worth installing all that if you haven't done already.

    Its also worth having a quick look in your bios to check that everything is in order. And then when you boot up, watch what it says incase there is an error message in there or something. Other than that, I'm not really sure why it would work on a second boot but not first time.
