"System Fan Failure" question

I booted up my HP Pavailion a1730n (Vista) this morning and got this message. "System Fan has failed. Hit F2 to continue."

After quick check inside I noticed all of my appeared to be running fine. Later in the day I heard some grinding type noise from the PC which I singled out as coming from the PSU.

I was under the impression the system error would refer to the CPU fan or perhaps a case fan only. So my question is simple. Could this error be talking about the PSU or am I looking at getting a new PSU and a CPU fan on top of that? (I'm assuming the case fan on the back is fine)
