Re: dell laptop fan problems

i am pretty certain i now have the problem resolved as far as one fan running, intel cpu id shows 400mhz 2.0ghz and i am staying at a cool 40c in a cool basement, i would say its about 65-70f down here, but all i had to do was get my power setting for when things turn off set right and now everything seems to work fine, pcpitstop.com gave me a good score and passing flag on my cpu and ram this time around, so basically bios and windows power settings were the problem, but the issue with the exhaust fan not running is still a mystery. maybe someone will happen a long with a theory on it since in linux i get a opposite effect the fan that does not run in windows runs in linux, but the fan that does run in windows does not in linux, so close to solving it
