How can I get the fan in my computer to turn off during standby?

The fan should turn off automatically when it is not needed to cool the processor. Unless you are talking about the fan for the casing. You could look at a computer electronics store and see if they have an energy saver type of fan.

It could be that your fan has burned out.  If you notice the fan does not come on at all anymore, it's probably time to get a new one.  \n\nSide note... if your computer is in a room that tends to get warm, you're going to want to change that fan soon and/or use another fan (small household oscillating type) to cool your CPU unit.  If your system gets too warm, the whole thing will shut down till it has a chance to cool down again.

There is a fan in your PC that cools down your computer since keeping it on all day will heaten up your hardware. It is probably defective.

Unplug the power cord from the back of the PC, leave it unplugged for 30 seconds.  Plug it back in and turn on the PC, then turn off power save and hibernate.\n\nGood luck HTH!

Not sure about the Standard Key issue, but I do know that many laptops (Toshibas for example) require extra software to standby properly.  Check the Laptop Vendor's website (not Microsoft on this one) and you should find system utilities that will make standby possible.

unless you know how to open your laptop case it will not be possible for you to check the problem of your fan. but be informed that laptop fans do not run all the time. they usually have temperature sensors to turn them off and on. laptop fans do not normally break down.better have it check by  a qualified technician or service center as u can easily damage the innards of your laptop.

If your computer is making a noise when it comes out of standby, then that is probably your hard drive restarting. The hard drive is shut off during standby.  It's normal.\n\nAs for why it's taking so long to think, then I agree with the others.  More RAM usually fixes that.

On LapTops definitely turn it off, it will wear down the battery. On desktops I will turn it off, if your not gonna use it within six hours. The reason for this is I find I have to replace more fans on computer used 24 hours than on the ones that are shut down everynight. If your cpu fan burns out while no one is using the computer, your cpu can burnout as well, costing a bit.

when you know you will come back to your computer in the same day then you can put it in stand by. The less you keep turning on and off your computer the better. It puts a strain on your hard drive if you do that a lot of times a day. So stand by is the best you can go.

Try this site:\nwww.almico.com/speedfan.php\nIt offers a software that can monitor and change your CPU's fan speed, to hopefully reduce noise. I don't know how well it works. It does say, "This program is aimed to the power user" (as in, it's not for basic computer users, since they might accidentally blow the thing up?), but from your questions, it seems like you are pretty knowledgeable. You might try it.

Right click on your desktop.  Go to Properties, Display, Screensaver, Power.  Do the drop down for 'standby' and have it say NEVER.

Yes,sounds like over-heating of the power supply unit.It was switching itself off every time it got over-heated.Most probably the cooling fan inside the power unit was not working.

Is the computer on standby? If it is then you should shutdown the computer instead. \n\nRun an antivirus program on your computer to see if a virus may be the cause as well. Also check to see if you have had any recent errors, like driver conflicts or "the blue screen of death". That could also be a cause.
