This is a new experience. I've had this Vortex laptop 4.5 years now but about 6 months ago I stopped using it. I resurrected it today and at the end of the day put it to 'sleep'. After entering sleep mode and seeing the keyboard illumination go off and the mouse-led turn off and the fans stop, all seemed normal. But then after a gap of a second or two, the fans started up again. I'd used sleep for the first 4 years of using the machine, I almost never shut it down, and never experienced this. So I decided to wake it up via a mouse-click and after fully waking up, I then did a proper shutdown. Same story. After a gap of a second or two the fans started up again. First at a low level. I decided to give it a couple of minutes to see if the fans would shut themselves off after the temps got to a low level. The opposite happened though, the fans ramped up to a slightly higher level. I gave it a full 5 minutes and there was no stopping them. I'm forced now to disconnect power and remove the battery or the fans will run all night I expect.
I'm thinking that unless a solution comes, I'll remove the battery permanently and have the power-brick's power removed each time I shutdown :wacko:
