Fan runs dring sleep

[colinlam]

I've just started using the sleep mode and everything appears to shutdown but
the fan runs continually. From what I understand this probably means
something is accessing the CPU, but what?

Any idea how this can be solved, thanks.

The fan responds to temperature. When the temp falls enough, the fan goes
off. If not, you have some nonstandard case, incapable of 'S3' settings.

Use hibernate rather than sleep.

Thanks for your reply. I didn't know about S3 settings so after changing my
BIOS all is sweet. Thanks again.

Use shutdown rather than sleep or hibernate

That's the default setting in Vista. When I'm in sleep I can't hear anything
running.
