HP Laptop CPU Problem

[kilgore]

I have one of the coveted HP laptops from Wal-Mart. HP has not gotten back to me with an answer to this problem so here it is: the CPU fan will run on start-up but when Windows finishes loading the fan turns off. Is this an energy saving feature or a malfunction? I would think the latter but wanted to ask you learned people. Thanks for your help.

energy saving feature.

Wait and see if it fires up again when it warms up, play a game or something. My friend's laptop would only fire up the fan when it was warm... like when he was playing a game during class (this was backk in high school).

Energy Saving Feature, absolutely correct!
