If this is the original fan, and there is no chance that it has been
disconnected and then reconnected to the wrong fan header, and it is
spinning normally, this is unusual that the motherboard would tell you that
no CPU fan was detected. Other than the motherboard being defective, the
only other option I can think of is that sometimes an older fan may not spin
up to its normal speed very quickly and the motherboard may fail to detect a
running fan during the initial boot and therefore conclude that there is no
fan connected. I would think that you would be able to see that the fan is
having trouble spinning up, when the computer is first started, if this was
the case, however.
I take it that either the BIOS does not have a hardware monitoring section
or the computer shuts down too quickly for you to have a chance to see what
the motherboard's monitoring function might have to say about the CPU fan's
rpm/speed.

The fan has not been replaced before. The fan came with the machine
and it spins quite okay thats why I am amazed by this error message.
