This also happens on my Dell Inspiron I4100 after a suspend. I learned
an easy trick to make the system reread its monitors. After you bring
the laptop back, try using the Fn Z key combination. This should make
the system reread its monitors and the fans will shut off. At least
that's the way it works on my Inspiron. I also have updated the bios to
the latest version available from Dell.
