Run the diagnostics outside of Windows (F12 at powerup to access). If you still see the same error there, replace the fan assembly (both fans and the heatsink are a single replacement part).

The error code 2000–0511 indicated that there is something wrong with the processor fan.
So what can you do?
Well, it could be a communication error between the system board and the fan. Update BIOS to the latest version and check if this solves the problem. If not, disconnect the fan and connect it back again and check.
If this did not help, open the fan and thoroughly clean it with a can of compressed or even with a vacuum cleaner on blow mode. Once it's clean, check if the error still reappears.
If it does, then replace the fan and this should solve the problem.
In very rare cases, like a million to one, there could be a possibility that the motherboard is at fault and not delivering power or able to handle the fan. In this case, take it to a technician who can fix it for you or if the system is under warranty, you can get a motherboard replacement.
