Alert! Memory fan failure
When I start up my computer - it beeps and gives me this message, followed by the computers fans to get increasingly louder to a point that I can no longer use my microphone for what I need to do, what do I need to do / have repaired or replaced to resolve this problem?

Hi Jackalotrun,
Here are some possible remedies for this issue:
1. Ensure the airflow to the computer is not blocked. Placing the computer in an enclosed area or blocking the vent holes can cause the computer to overheat.
2. Check the internal system fans for obstructions and verify all fans are spinning properly. Swap any failing fans with a known-good fan, and replace the fan if a known-good fan works. If a known-good fan does not work, replace the system board.
3. If all of the fans are spinning properly, reseat the power supplies and all internal power connections, and then check if the error still occurs.
4. Reseat all of the memory and memory risers. Refer to the server documentation to verify that the memory configuration is correct for the server, and then check if the error still occurs.
5. Swap reporting the error with known good memory to determine if the issue is with the memory DIMM or the slot on the motherboard or riser.
