Solved computer running fast/loud after Vista reinstall

Hi,
New to the forum.

I've had some trouble with my system - Dell XPS 630I - hibernation problems, not being able to set or go back to a Restore Point, etc.

So I've had a Microsoft tech help me solve my problems in the last few weeks, and after finally coming to the 'Reinstall Vista' as the only solution, I reinstalled yesterday.

I have not yet installed any drivers or Dell software, but, obviously, did get my internet capability back.

I'm not worried about getting my system back to normal working order eventually, but one thing has me concerned:

My system is running so loud and fast constantly. Previously, when I turned my computer on, during the startup phase, it ran like this (loud and fast, noisy) until it reached the black screen with the colorful, Vista circle in the middle, at which point it quieted down completely and continued with the Windows startup.

Does anyone know what it is that has my computer sound like its running so fast, and sounding so loud constantly. Is it going to be one of the system drivers that I will eventually load that will 'calm' my system down??

Thanks!
Mike

Hello Vorticonthe1st,
This is probably due to the fact that you have not installed the video card driver, the card will run at full power because it has no controller, i would install all your drivers, sound, video and chip-set, and see how it goes after that.
Hope this helps, good luck and post your results.

Stoney is right. When I built by rig, I HAD to install my graphics chipset driver, then my graphics card driver. After that the fan runs normally. The reason that it used to quiet down when you saw the orb was because thats when Windows finished starting the graphics driver. I would follow stoney's suggestion.

Worked like a charm!!

Got those video drivers installed, rebooted, and it got quiet on the startup like it used to.

After so much trouble with my Vista app and having to do a clean install, I had no idea what to expect. After the install, I knew I'd have a little work to do, but the speed thing had me concerned.

Thanks Stoneys-Nutz for the 'fix' and quick reply, and to Simek for the reassurance!

Let you know how the rest of the new 'install' goes.
