Hello all,
I recently purchased a new desktop and it came with Win8 installed on it. Everything worked fine for the first two weeks. Then, I noticed my fan was running at full speed when I'd come into the room after a while. My desktop was in sleep mode, so I was like, WTF...? Woke my desktop up and the fan returned to normal. Strange I thought, maybe it was just a one time thing. Nope... Every time my computer goes into sleep mode, the fan kicks on full blast. Okay... maybe no sleep mode, but the fan will shut off when I shut down my computer, right? Nope again. When my computer is shut down, the fan is still running at full speed. The thing is, when my computer is in sleep mode or shut down, the fan runs at full speed, but when I'm using it (like now) the fan is normal.
I've been looking around trying to find something related to my problem. I've came across a few articles on the forums, like http://www.eightforums.com/performa...still-running-after-shutdown-windows-8-a.html. Seems like my same problem, but it was during his install he shut down Windows. However, there was talk of this "bcdedit /set disabledynamictick yes", but I don't really want to mess with the my boot.ini files... I'm not bad at small programs, but I really don't want to toy around and destroy my desktop right now.
I've read some other articles about a Win8 laptop in idle mode with the same problem, and they said it was antivirus related. I figured that if that were the case, shouldn't have I seen it during the first time I booted up my desktop?
Finally, I may be crazy here, but I think I started noticing this problem AFTER I installed some windows updates from Microsoft... I don't know if there is a way to verify that everything went smoothly, I kinda assumed and left my computer running while it was updating...
So all that being said, can someone please point me in the right direction so I can get this problem fixed? It is just super annoying and I'm a bit salty that I have to baby sit my desktop so the fan doesn't sound like a jet taking off...
