i9300 system cooling fans

hey,

ever since a tech came by my house to replace a fault motherboard, it seems like my laptop got hotter, the cooling fans is not doing its job...i do not hear them on nor do i feel a light draft coming from the vents

i think my bios is configured incorrectly because starting up the laptop the fans are not on until i completely load windows which i use the program 'i9kfangui' to force the fans on high, but if i restart or shut down, its not on by default

can i change that in any way? can i configure the bios to turn the fans on by default?

thanks in advanced,
Frank

    the latest one, A05 i think...i just downloaded the driver from the dell support website
     
     
    EDIT: i also heard from somewhere that there is a 3-key combination i can push at boot up that will bring me to the fan control option...does anyone know about that?

    I had the same problem with the A05 Bios. I went back to the A04 and all is well now.

    Is there any chance of seeing an patch for this? This issue has been around for a good while and beginning to think not.

    yea, reverting back to the older version BIOS (A04) worked like a charm, i hope DELL knows about this and is working on it ASAP before i9300's w/A05 BIOS heats up and melts =\
