computer fan

Hi, I was having problems playing online games, when my exhaust fan or rear fan turns on or off my game will lag for about 30 seconds, Is there any way i can turn the settings to make that fan always stay on?

pentium 4 3.0 GHz
windows xp sp2
1.50gb ram
x800xl agp radion

Thanks

 

well thats an interesting problem. You may be able to do it in the BIOS....

are you sure it has to do with the fans? are the fans normally off til your PC hits a certain temp?

 

ye, seems like it turns on when it gets hot or harsh graphics are running, not sure how t check my temp, but im pretty sure it turns on when it gets hot or whenning im running good graphics.

 

btw heres my motherboard.

heres my motherboard

I dont think it would hurt to have my fan running all the time, that is unless i turn off the computer, or would it cause problems?

 

read this somewhere but not sure what hes talking about,

"In the bios, you should be able to select the suspend mode. Chose s3 rather than s1. s1 leaves the fans on, s3 turns them off."
