Hi all!
I installed Windows 8 a couple of weeks ago (was pretty annoying having to convert my hard drive to basic disk and back up all of my stuff) but I really enjoy the operating system.
I do have one problem which I can't get my head around. Whenever I wake the computer from sleep, after anywhere from 5-30 seconds, the fan roars up to its maximum speed and creates a lot of noise. This happens even if I stay at the lock screen and don't log in. The only way to fix the problem is to restart the computer. The fan roars during shutdown but once the computer starts up again the fan runs at a normal and fairly quiet speed.
I've never had this problem in Windows 7 or Ubuntu so I don't know why it's happening in Windows 8. The amount of software I have installed in 8 is almost identical to 7, so maybe this has something to do with the OS itself? I did a google search and found another person experiencing this problem with Windows 8, they just installed software called SpeedFan and it fixed their problem. I tried installing SpeedFan but I still have the problem. The system doesn't slow down or behave any differently, just the fan is a lot louder.
I've got an HP Envy 14 2012-tx, Intel i7 2.00GHz, 8gb ram, 64 bit system
Any suggestions would be greatly appreciated!
Cheers
