After waking up from sleep, one of my fans is running at maximum speed
I've been using Windows Vista for many years, and I've finally done some more depth research into CPUs and upgraded. With the upgrade (as the new core is 64 bit whereas the old one wasn't) I decided to upgrade my OS to Windows 7 Professional.
Mostly it's great, but I've noticed that after the computer is woken from being asleep that one of the fans is running at it's maximum speed until the computer is restarted. This is irritating for two reasons as I don't want to wear my fans out and because it is very noisy.
I do use speedfan, but generally have it set to run off the automatic fan speed. Usually the fan runs at around 1560 RPM depending on what I'm doing, but when this error is happening Speedfan is registering it at over 4000 RPM and this continues until a restart.
For now, I have disabled the sleep function to avoid this, but it would be great to know why this was happening and how I could avoid it.
Thank you!
