    Hi all, I've just recently upgraded my NP5792 (Actually eurocoms M750ru divine-x) to windows 7, and since the upgrade my fans have started going a little crazy. Every few minutes they'll go high speed and make a lot of noise for a few seconds, then slow down again, even when I'm not even using the computer.

    Does anyone know why that might be? I couldn't find drivers for windows 7 from eurocom, sager, or clevo, so i am just using the ones win7 automatically installs and the graphics driver from the nvidia site for 8800m gtx. Could that have anything to do with it?

    Thanks!

    Not sure about temperatures as I don't have any software to measure that - I never OC or do anything beyond ordinary use on this laptop. I can say that it never "feels" even the least bit warm though (It used to get warm when it had been awhile since I cleaned it out, but even then the fans didnt do this weird turbo mode for just a few seconds every few minutes).

    Specs are Operating System:
    Windows 7 Ultimate N 64-bit
    System Manufacturer: Clevo Co.
    System Model: M570RU
    BIOS: BIOS Revision: 1.00.08U
    Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM)2 Duo CPU T8100 @ 2.10GHz (2 CPUs), ~2.1GHz
    Memory: 4096MB RAM
    Video card: 8800M GTX

    The fans have a certain temperature threshold that will kick up the fans to a higher speed. I don't know what the threshold is on a M570RU, but my M570TU had them set to 50*C for the CPU fan and I think also 50*C for the GPU fan.

    Right, I just find it strange that before they only kicked into the higher speed when I was playing graphic intensive games, now ever since installing windows 7 they do every few minutes even while the notebook is idle - I've cleaned it out so I know that's not the problem

    Its unlikely this will do anything, but in power options go to the advanced power settings for the active power plan on your system and under processor management, check out the system cooling policy, try switching that up, only got two options active and passive. Worth a try.
