Just had nearly the same happen on an old Dell desktop. High fan on power up with shutdown, then auto started again this time with message to check setup. Only thing I could find was date and time set back to 2006. When reset the time it started OK until the next time. Can't complain to my knowledge it was the first time that the battery was replaced.

Still funny though as battery tested at 2,78V. Haven't had a problem since replacement.

Hi,
Do you have to correct the time in BIOS at all to get it to work properly?
If so or even if not, try replacing the CMOS battery.
Here is a link to the service manual for your laptop.
Click on the Coin cell battery link in the Contents page to go to the relevant section on how to remove / replace the battery.
