Dell XPS M1330 - Fan Noise After Video Driver Upgrade http://blog.johnkelly.co.uk/PermaLink,guid,d391fb30-f7d0-4c1d-93a4-b3fd8922c41f.aspx 2009-01-29T10:49:17.891+00:00 2009-01-29T10:49:43.2987424+00:00

Upgraded nVidia 8400 GS driver which resulted in intermittent, then constant, high fan noise.  System Restore didn't cure it.

Installing current BIOS (A06 -> A15) fixes this.
