There may be more than one cause, but it seems clear that the earlier BIOS is less tolerant of fans as they start to wear. The newer BIOS probes the fans several times. Hence the user who had to put in a new fan so he could stay booted long enough to flash the new BIOS and them the old fan was usable. Ugh.
