"Alert! Previous fan failure. Strike the F1 key to continue, F2 to run the Setup Utility" means that there's a problem with the case/processor fan.
Check both the fan and heatsink to see if there is dust buildup and that the fan's power connector is properly connected to the motherboard, by removing and reconnecting it.
If none of the above corrects the problem, it usually means that the fan should be replaced.
