Hi i solved the problem with installing a fan with 4 pins on the motherboard at 25 connector named rear fan (marked A on the picture joined)and there is no more post message with fan error detection.I hope this will help someone who have this kind of problem.

@pull-lift -- is there another fan (maybe on the back-panel) that is not spinning when the computer is powered-on? Is the cable from that fan NOT connected to the motherboard?

@pull-lift -- it is the three-wire fans that provide feedback to the motherboard, indicating the speed (RPM) of the fan. Your computer probably has a two-wire fan inside the power-supply. So, check your three-wire fan(s), to ensure that they are spinning fast-enough to avoid the error-message. Also, check the motherboard settings, to not try to monitor any non-installed fan.
