    I just recieved my new Dell XPS. I have one thing that I would like to change and can't seem to find out how to do it. When I enter standby, the computer shuts down but the cooling fan(s) continue to run. When I bought my Dell 8100 three years ago it was the same way, but the issue was fixed when I upgraded to XP Pro. Now, with the XPS and XP pro the fan(s) continue to run while in standby. There must be a way to control this. Maybe through the bios? Any help would be great.

    Actually I found it. It was the wake from standby setting of my usb mouse. I just disabled it under power management in the mouse properties. It was keeping the power supply active to run the mouse. Thanks anyways.
