I noticed that after using this software my CPU fan would turn off during standby. When I would resume from standby my comp would sometimes <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/freeze-25684" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about FREEZE">FREEZE</a> and BSOD.

I think somehow my standby mode was changed, but my BIOS doesn't have any <a href="https://interviewquestions.tuteehub.com/tag/power-2475" style="font-weight:bold;" target="_blank" title="Click to know more about POWER">POWER</a> options. I have tried power options in windows also with no luck. Can any one tell me how I can change these modes so that my CPU doesn't overheat during standby?This might be a silly question, but why not just use the Windows hibernate/sleep modes?<br/>Your CPU fan should turn off in standby, but it sounds like your CPU is still working which isn't right.<br/>What motherboard do you have?Quote from: Linux711 on July 25, 2010, 10:03:26 PM</p><blockquote>I have tried power options in windows also with no luck.<br/></blockquote>You can't use either Standby or Hibernation, in Windows?
