I drove a distance of about 250km yesterday, and the car stalled thrice. I try to start, but the engine wouldn't start. I discovered that the radiator fans wouldn't respond when the key is on. It will then start after some minutes. What could be the problem?

When you tried to start the engine, what would it do? Would it crank and not start or would it not do anything when you turn the key?

If it cranks and does not start, I suspect that is the crank sensor is the issue. Here are some guides that help with that. It could also be a fuel pump issue but let's start with this info and go from there.
