Lol, what. Fan noise after repeated hibernations

I like to hibernate. So I use that really often cause I think it's convenient how I can leave everything I was working on up and resume when I turn the computer back on.

Anyway, this morning I turned the computer on, logged in, and immediately, the fan tried to propel the computer into my solar plexus.

...well, that's an exaggeration. But it was really loud! I wasn't even aware that the fans could go that fast. It seriously sounded as if I had a small jet engine underneath my desk. When I alt-tabbed into HWM to check the temperatures, it displayed 65c across the board, which was ridiculous for the load! I resumed hibernation with Google Chrome running... and that's it.

So I closed Chrome and the computer immediately stopped hissing at me. Then I loaded it back up and the fan did not kick into overdrive... in fact, the temperatures quickly dropped to slightly above idle levels.

This computer usually runs below the ambient noise levels, so this was disconcerting. Like, holy crap... is this something Chrome related or SXPS 1645 related?

 

Might be hibernation related, but likely Chrome got stuck in some kind of loop, and started eating up 100% CPU on 1 (or more) cores.

Consider yourself lucky. I get the same fan noise you described ALL THE TIME while playing games. If you want to hear that wonderful fan noise again, it's the same noise you will hear when updating the BIOS.

 

Hibernation has all kinds of compatibility issues, both with hardware (now mostly resolved) and software (like Chrome). I'd just be glad you figured out what program caused it, so you know next time, lol.

 

Meh, I'll just stop using hibernation altogether. This laptop seems to have problems with both sleep and hibernation and they're both things I can live without. Sometimes I'll wake it up (out of both) with the GPU locked at idling and have to reboot to shake it off.

I'm more inclined to believe it's a hibernation issue.

 

For me hibernation caused my video player to go blank. I had to restart every time so I stopped using it.

 

I had the same problem, when my laptop woke from hibernate the screen wouldn't turn on. The only way to get it back was to go into regular sleep then wake it again.

 

I've experienced this.

Also, I've just done a normal booting and the fan is infinitely more active, switching speeds more often and generally being a lot less obnoxious... so yeah. Hibernating is a bad idea. I'm also 4 degrees cooler on all cores even though I've turned the AC off so I can hear the fan better. As for the fan, it's no longer audible (at all!) when just running Chrome. Go figure.

How would I go about bringing this to DELL's attention? Polite email? Chat?
