power on, hammer f2
then read BIOS logs to see WHAT fan fails. CPU , or case. fan.
the alert is real. (if coin cell not bad)
only LOOKING first works. look at the fan even see it spin, does it?
or RTC coin cell battery is dead (mine was weak on my 3020 ) and NVram goes nuts, even fans can go nuts,
the battery is a first things first thing over 5 years old. my battery was 7 years, old and near 2.8v too low.
