    Just got my new FX. So far, love it. Only issue I got is whenever I wake it up from sleep mode, the fan stays constantly running until I do a restart. It's the fan in the back right side. Any fixes for this issue?

    try updating your bios from manufacturer site. the bios usually directly controls the system fan. so updating it will most probabaly clear the problem

    I'm not aware of any BIOS updates for Vista 64 bit.

    My CPU fan (on the right side) runs 24/7 regardless of temps. The GPU fan (left side of laptop) pulses from time to time and stays on during gaming. I put my laptop to sleep when I'm gone for the day. No issues here.

    anyone found a fix for the fanissue after wake form sleep mode yet? Its prety anoying since the sleep feature is really great. When im studying i just put my 7811 just in sleep mode so im not anoyed by the fans. When i wanna look something up, bam im there again. Just the constantly running fan on the right side keeps buggin me. Only a restart helps there. Is it a general 7811 thing with the sleep mode or just some 7811s?
