    That fan needs replaced. If it's the fan INSIDE the power supply, replace the power supply... if it's the CPU cooling fan, it will need replaced, but that is tricky because it needs a properly applied heat sink compound put on it (some new cooling fans have it preapplied but the old needs cleaned off the CPU either way.
