NVIDIA 7900GS - Fan frequently on after latest driver update

Vista Ultimate 32-bit. DELL Dimension 9200 with NVIDIA 7900 GS

Yesterday I installed the latest drivers from the NVIDIA site (ver. 190.62)
and now the graphic card fan starts running each time I open something
(e.go. Internet or Windows Explorer, or the Notepad).

Anyone met such a problem?

Roll back to the previous drivers. Problem fixed? If yes, then don't update
the drivers. Unless you are a gamer trying to squeeze every bit of framerate
goodness out of your card and/or some problem you are having is addressed
with the updated drivers, there is no reason to install new drivers.

Also ensure the GPU heatsink and fan are free of dust.

NVidia Ntune is useful for monitoring and adjusting temperature/fan rate. Available for both 32- and 64-bit Vista.

Agreed. Although most vendors, when contacted about problems with their
software, will immediately ask "Do you have the latest graphics drivers?"
