Is it possible for the fan on my computer to be "stuck" in the on position?
About a week ago, I installed two flat panel monitors on my Dell Dimension 8300. It had a 19in flat screen CRT before that. About two days ago, I noticed that the cooling fan was running all the time and it has not shut off since then. I am sure it did not start running as soon as I installed the monitors, and I don't even think the computer is running hot.
Is there a way to check and or reset the fan so it only runs when needed? Thanks.
