Hey all.... :( :( :(
I have a Sony Vaio PCV-RX580 1.8 Gig., that has some kind of proprietary fan control driver that I have tried to load a 100 times. It was working fine until I upgraded my BIOS to from V.1003 to V. 1004 per Sony's website and their tech support. I have even reimaged my hard drive and installed a fresh copy of the XP Pro operating system along with the fan control drivers and the fan is still friggin loud!!!

Has anyone ran into this issue before? There has got to be a way to get the driver to work.... :rolleyes:
Here is a copy of the OEM SonyFanC.inf file if that might help...
Thanks.....
