If it's the CPU Fan replace it before it damages something. Also replace any fans that when you give them a spin show resistance.

Most often, dirt and dust will prevent a fan from starting up. Using a small paint brush, canned air and vacuum cleaner, clean the fan and the heatsink fins. Sometimes a drop of light oil will help to restore the fan back to free spinning. If none of that helps, replace, they are cheap compared to the cost of a new peocessor.
