Hi, fan is fine. It starts up doesn't make any horrible noise and spinning around quite happily. Is there a way to determine if there is a problem with the motherboard?

There's no way to check if it's a problem with the motherboard without replacing the motherboard, and if the fan works properly that's likely the next option. I edited my original answer to add some information that might be helpful.

Just to add I booted the pc up and went to the Bios setting. I left the pc standing there and looked at the details. CPU Fan power went straight to 100%, and the CPU Temp was slowly creeping up, but on last look was 57 degrees. Is this still OK or too hot

That's way too hot to be sitting at the BIOS screen. Check that your heatsink isn't lose, those stock Intel heatsink clips have a nasty habit of breaking when they get old.
