Check the BIOS, there could be a couple of fan settings. Fiddle around with them, im not really familiar with dell BIOS's, but if should disappear then.

My Rig:
1040Mhz Pentium 3 OC'd at 1.2Ghz
Aopen MX3WPRO-E mobo
Intel 810 chipset
Onboard Graphics Not sure how many MB
128mb RAM
120GB Maxtor Hard Drive

My Old Rig:
AMD K6 400Mhz

I believe the answer is to clear the BIOS by removing power and jumpering the "clear cmos" pins on the MoBo. You will then have to re-enter your Bios settings(With the jumper removed).I believe the error message resides in the event logs embedded in the BIOS. I hope this works, It should.
