(two fans atached to the system fan connector on the > mainboard) OK, so let me summarize what I understood: * When your computer boots, fans are spinning. * If you load the w83627hf driver with no parameter, the fans stop. * If you instead load the w83627hf driver with reset=1, the fans don't stop. Is that it? If so, I consider it a critical issue which needs to be addressed quickly. If "sensors -s" is run as part of your init scripts, please remove it and check again, I'd like to get it out of the list of suspects. Which kernel are you using? Is it from your distribution, or self-compiled? Do you also have the w83781d driver loaded? What if you load w83627hf with init=0 (and not reset=1)? Thanks, -- Jean Delvare
