Does this seem like a motherboard failure?

Starting yesterday, when I turn on my computer, the CPU fan keeps going full speed even after POST and Windows boots up. I shut down the computer, and restarted it, this time it displayed a black screen with a cursor blinking, and hung there, I restarted again, and that time it hung even further back on the motherboard's splash screen. It took numerous tries to get my computer to boot normally, but now that it has, everything seems fine.

Does this sound like a motherboard failure? In what ways/how can I check if it is?
