Hi, Don't know any way of controlling this with Vista - could be a hardware problem - better get it checked out. In the meantime here's a free app to control fan speed 'SpeedFan - Free software downloads and reviews - CNET Download.com' (http://www.download.com/SpeedFan/3000-2094_4-10067444.html) SIW2 -- SIW2
My Gateway computer required a Bios update to correct the same type of problem. The fan ran at full speed and never slowed down to quiet.

Somtimes there is a setting in the bios for this. Just hit the Del key when starting the system(yours might be another key, just look at your display). Like on mine there is the option to run the fan with or without s.m.a.r.t. mode. be carefull what you change in there.
