Open up the computer case and look inside. Look for the fan somewhere near the middle of the motherboard. Turn on the PC for a very short time and observe that fan. Does it spin? If not try to remove the fan and take it with you to a local PC store to find a replacement. It should be less than $20.
These machines are not a big mystery. They fit together a bit like Lego.

The speed sensor curcuit is probably faulty. Change the fan unit or turn off speed monitoing in the CMOS settings.

Hi KrackHead2k,
All the above comments are good.
Another option is to get a can of compressed air (at a pc store or costco sometimes have them).
Then clean the inside of the computer well, especially cleaning the fan unit.
One of my fans went out a few years ago and lucky for me I got
the computer at a local company.... so even though the warranty
was over by 2 weeks, they still replaced it for free and labor was free also.
good luck,
JM
