if you have original MS-whatever installed, compare what happens when
running with the shipped OS. Also, check there what the pm utils knows
about the fan.


	So sorry to have completely removed any MS stuff! :)

depends, if the BIOS was designed to offer standard hooks to the OS; if it
was designed to talk to a proprietary pm util only, you're out of luck - or
in the need to disassemble and dig into the code of such util.


	I would think to be "out of luck" because the idea of
	disassambling *thing drives me crazy. Is there any shortcut, just
	to diagnose this problem?
