I have a IBM Netvista model 8310 and today when it was booted up the
cpu and the frame fans started and then stopped. The power supply fan
is running fine.This caused the machine to shutdown (hibernate) until
the heat dissipates.
Th funny part about this is I can get the fans running using speedfan
software so it doesn't appear to be the fans.

Is it the mother board, power supply?
Any help would be appreciated.

It is hard to tell, but maybe there is some corruption of ACPI data
or drivers. Please check the event log for messages saying "ACPI"
or "thermal zone" or like this.
Also the BIOS settings can be relevant. IBM support can be helpful here.
