re: Loud Fan Thursday, October 22, 2009 at 4:48 pm Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by C K (6526 messages posted) Contact HP and tell them what's going on. Fan is controlled by the BIOS not by Windows. I've had a similar problem after a BIOS update on a Dell, only in reverse. It is fine when first booted up, and after stanby the fan runs at a meduim speed constantly. Rebooting corrects it. So far, Dell doesn't have an answer for it. Putting the old HDD back in with the original Windows install, before the BIOS update made no difference so it is definately a hardware/motherboard/BIOS update issue.. I would say, that's what you have also, a hardware/BIOS issue if it isn't getting to hot from partially blocked (dusty) CPU heatsink.
