The IDE is the older style of harddrive and optical drive interface. You machine has SATA unless you added another hd or optical. The Floppy is also an IDE drive so this may be that because you do not have a disk in the floppy when the diagnostics program tries to access it, it returns an error... no media(Disk)is in the drive.
The other method is refering to the optical. Again with no disk in at the time the diagnostics run the reason for the error.
Neither of these would be related to your issue. It could be a driver, hardward, or temp issue.
Suggest you pick up a copy of Coretemp and GPU-z to monitor your cpu and graphics card temps.

Do you have a floppy driver in your system?

No, no floppy drive here. Now that you say it, your answer seems quite reasonable.
Both fans seem to run fine at this point but I will consider your suggestion.
Appreciate the reply!
