Hey guys would you have any ideas about this?

My 7600GTs fan runs full-bore when I come back and press the power button on my computer to bring it out of Standby. And it keeps on running - even though all Im doing is running Opera. No games.

To stop it I have to restart :confused:
 
Sounds like a BIOS issue....see if you can find an updated BIOS or maybe even a BIOS from a different card!?!?!?!?
 
Happens with my 7600GT also. (same OC model as yours).

Decides to go full blast when exiting from the screen saver, starting windows ect...

completely unnecessary!

I just use rivatuner to keep it running at a low speed.
 
I'd put together a couple of fan profiles in RivaTuna; you might it's quieter overall if you do that.
