Re: Standby mode with fan offline

Tech-Archive recommends: Repair Windows Errors & Optimize Windows Performance

Unless you want to severely damage your computer, you do NOT want the fans to shutdown when the machine enters Standby (though if the room's cool enough and the computer's innards are clean*, the fans should shutdown eventually).

Hi,
I just had to install the xp professional in my pc again.
I use often the standby mode.
My problem is, that after the new installation, when going to standby mode,
the fans are still working. I want the fans to shutdown.
Before the installation, going to standby mode was shutting down the fans.
The installation is from the same CD.
Board is intel DG35EC on S3 in bios power, the XP is professional with SP3.
Any idea?
TIA – Haim.
