    Hello fellows, today I was messing around with Hiren's Boot on my own laptop and decided to pay Mini Windows XP a visit (Dunno if someone here is familiar with this).

    As soon as miniXP booted up, my laptop fan ramped up @ 100% (or something close to that as I never heard it go that loud).

    I immediately checked CPU usage and temps to check if something was wrong but everything seemed normal, I then restart my laptop to boot my main OS noticing that the fan was still at 100% keeping some awesome temps for my CPU and GPU.

    In the past I tried to find several ways to control the fan speed of my laptop but failed at every attempt, so this is making me quite excited, If only I could find what makes miniXP blast my fan in such a way that the only solution to make it work normally is by shutting down the system (powering off), I could use it to ramp the fan anytime I wanted using my mainOS.

    Does someone have a slight idea of what it could be?

    Laptop Specs:
    Asus K53SV
    i7 2630QM
    6GB DDR3
    Nvidia GT540M
    WD 640GB

    You might want to post this in the general hardware forum instead.
